Enate Gewürztraminer 2025

Enate is a leading estate in Somontano, a small appellation in the north-east of Spain where the Pyrenees meet the Ebro basin. This wine is made entirely from Gewürztraminer, one of the most aromatic grapes in the world and a variety that has adapted well to the region. Somontano sits at the foothills of the mountains, and the altitude is what makes the style work: warm days ripen this pink-skinned grape to full aromatic intensity, while cold mountain nights preserve enough acidity to keep a naturally low-acid variety fresh and balanced. The vineyards lie on stony, well-drained soils that suit its early ripening. In the cellar the wine is made in a cool, protective way with no oak, so the focus stays entirely on the grape's exuberant perfume. Expect a bright pale colour, a powerfully floral nose of rose petals and white flowers lifted by ginger, and a palate of ripe white peach, apricot and melon with a touch of honey, dry but broad and soft in texture. Serve chilled at around 10C in a generous glass. Its perfume and low acidity make it well suited to spiced and aromatic dishes.
