Leads with baking spice aromas in a huge and lovely way, some musky rose petal but not a lot of lychee notes. Finishes with ginger spice. Try with mild curries.

Gewürztraminer food pairings: turkey or chicken breast, mild savoury cheese.

Reviews and Ratings

Heather Wall - CS; WSET Advanced rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review:

Pretty pale lemon colour with aromas and flavours of apple, apricot, lychee, stony minerality, rose and rose water. The palate is clean and off-dry with a raw almond component(?) and warming spices. The length is long on a slight bitter finish. Medium+ cleansing acidity. Pair with spicy dishes, Indian food. Serve well chilled.
Tasted: April 2015
This elegant Niagara gewürztraminer offers a squeeze of spiced peach on the nose and palate. Light and refreshing, try it with mixed field greens and edible flowers. - Community Wine Reviews

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.
