Reviews and Ratings

Sean O'Regan - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Nov 21, 2013: Blind tasting NCSG Vintages pre-release. Pale straw, floral, pear, apricot, citrus, spicy and cotton candy nose. Orchard and citrus fruit and spicy on the palate with a fennel note on a medium warm finish.
Matt Steeves - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Candied lemon, tangerine, orange blossom, lychee, and flint on the nose. Medium weight, refreshing tangerine and stone fruit on the palate.
Southern Okanagan produces great aromatic whites (amongst many other styles) and this is a great example here.
Tinhorn Creek pride themselves on conscientious sustainability, from how they treat water to how they treat their people. Obviously they also know how to treat their grapes - this Gewürz is bursting with healthy doses of ripe citrus, orchard blossoms, botanicals and grated ginger. Source: Vintages Wine Panel, Oct. 2013

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.
