Nose was dominated by lychee, ripe pear and honey. Not as much floral or spice notes as I was expecting. Mouthfeel was moderately sweet with a decent touch of acid. Light petrol notes, a little tinny on the back end. Again very strong lychee and honey flavors. Overall very tasty wine, paired well with a spicy Moroccan chicken stew. The slight sweetness helped with the burn.

Mostly Rieslings: Bright gold color. Complex and inviting nose of apricot, lychee, wax, rose tea and a bitter, peppery note. Medium acid, full bodied, with a waxy mouthfeel. The apricot jam, tangerine and orange peel flavors are rich and deep, and blended with butterscotch and an herbal flavor that reminds me of celery seed. The complexity and spicy nature of this wine really impressed me. I like the combination of pungency and elegance in this wine. Delicious with Chinese food.

Golden.Toasted asian spices on nose. Off dry in style, but not cloying with bright acidity. Alcohol nicely in check, put out the fire from spicy Vietnamese dish.

Pale gold. Nose was on the spicier side of Gewurz. Moderately sweet, Gewurz bitterness on the end. Very good for the Gewurz lover.
