Katharina Salzgeber and Nikolaus Saahs (owner of Nikolaihof), the evening's key figures, pondered the potential of Gewürztraminer and the wines produced from it, which, with few exceptions, they didn't particularly enjoy. They speculated about the outcome if Gewürztraminer were approached differently regarding harvest timing, processing, and aging.

In the vineyard, this meant an early harvest to preserve the acidity, which can drop sharply in Gewürztraminer. In the cellar, they followed the philosophy of \"everything is allowed, nothing is mandatory.\" The must\/wine was not subjected to fining, stabilization, or filtration, and sulfur was also omitted. Instead, it fermented spontaneously on the skins for three weeks and then spent eight months on the full lees in a 300-liter wooden barrel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"caret-color: #000000; color: #000000;\"\u003eFreed from the traditional constraints of Gewürztraminer vinification, the Semikolon Gewürztraminer bursts with energy from the first sip.
