  This wine presented us with a real conundrum. We loved it with a spicy asian meal. Wonderful bouquet of exotic flowers, peach and citrus. Body was nice, acidity and sweetness were well balanced, and a nice short-med finish. But....it's 14.6% alcohol. You would never know from tasting it. We would have given it a higher rating but for the high alcohol content. Won't buy again, the Riesling (11.7%) that JoieFarm offers is what we will get instead.

  Bouquet is mainly peach. Flavours of peach and lychee are present and pleasantly surprised that wine is not too sweet. I traditionally stay away from Gewurzt because of the sweetness but this was very nice. Had it with some spicy food and they played well together.
