Reviews and Ratings

Intensely aromatic Gewürztraminer offering notes of lychee and exotic fruits with the expected spice component, as well as an additional marmalade complexity that gives real weight to the aromas. The touch of residual sugar creates a lovely mouthfeel rather than impressing sweetness, and the excellent acidity makes this a versatile food wine.

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.
