The flavours are engaging and uplifting on the palate as rose water and yeast buns are held together by a citrus spine that engages all the senses before a long grassy finish. The texture is silky and voluptuous.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Gewürztraminer and Riesling hail from Block 1 and Block 3 respectively of the Protero vineyard, which sits at an elevation of 500m on a gentle north-east facing slope in the Kenton Valley, Adelaide Hills. Here the Gewürztraminer was grafted onto pre-existing Merlot plantings. The small amount of Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from a neighbouring site.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll three parcels were individually destemmed, gently pressed and held as juice before blending and co-fermentation. A reasonably quick primary fermentation of six days was followed by a long, slow settling in tank leaving 3 grams of residual sugar. The wine was racked ahead of bottling.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProtero tells a fascinating story of survival in the face of adversity. Stephen and Fiona Pannell purchased the ‘Protero’ vineyard in the Adelaide Hills in late 2019. Within days, it was surrounded by the second major bushfire of this century. Thanks to the courage of those who fearlessly defended it, the vineyard survived. As Stephen says, “we are moved by the bravery behind the history of this vineyard. Our own small act of courage is to try and invest in this special place with a new sense of potential.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"London End Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64450431844729,"sku":"10791223","price":18.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0506\/5405\/2509\/files\/ProteroAromaticoAdelaideHills.jpg?v=1788282867","url":"https:\/\/www.londonendwines.com\/products\/protero-aromatico-adelaide-hills-2023","provider":"London End Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
