A seductive white with rose petal and lychee aromas. It's classic Gewurztraminer but not over the top. Lovely balance, finesse and a long spice-infused finish. Wonderful!

Gewurztraminer food pairings: tandoori chicken, spot prawns, sunomono salad, pork and fruit dishes.

Reviews and Ratings

Our Gewurztraminer is grown entirely in our Tinhorn Creek Vineyard on the
Golden Mile Bench. It is located at the top of the vineyard adjacent to the mountain
and benefits from the heat radiating off of the rocks in the evenings. The 2009
Gewurztraminer was the first of our wines to be harvested on September 16 & 17,
2009 and was 100% handpicked. It was cold fermented in two stainless steel tanks
over the course of one month before being bottled in March 2010.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

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.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
