Gewurztraminer 2008

Wine Colour

Pale straw with a green highlights.

Wine Bouquet

Intense, lifted aromas of rosewater and gooseberries are immediately evident on the bouquet. There is also an inviting perfume of talc with subtle spice characters.

Wine Palate

The palate delivers equally pleasing flavours of turkish delight, lemon, gooseberries and a touch of spice. The wine is rich in texture whilst retaining delicacy. Tight acidity delivers a crisp, clean finish.

Suggested Food Matching

It is suited wonderfully to aromatic Asian foods - particularly Thai, seafood or even fruit salad.

Critics Notes

“Gentle musk aromas are framed by lifted orange peel and ripe lemon characters; the palate is generous and rich, but cleans up nicely with a good dose of acidity on the finish. 92 points.” James Halliday, Aust Wine Companion 2009

“An aromatic blend of Clare Valley and Adelaide Hills fruit that has won a trophy… Lifted aromas of musk, tropical and citrus fruit, nicely spiced with zippy acidity and a crisp finish. Drink it with Thai cuisine.” Kerry Skinner, Illawarra Mercury, 24 Sep 2008.

Cellaring Notes

This wine is crafted for immediate enjoyment but lovers of aged Gewürztraminer will not be disappointed if the wine is cellared in ideal conditions up to and possibly beyond 2010.
