Pale amber Medium (+) intensity nose of orange peel, tangerine, musk and rose, cinnamon and ginger. Dry, medium (+) acid, medium skinsy grippy tannins, medium alcohol (13% - low for Gewurz!, medium bodied, with medium (+) intensity orange peel, tangerine, grapefruit, ginger and cinnamon. Medium length.
Complex and a huge amount going on here, at first challenging, this really grew on me... Screwcap.

Very good 'naturally' made skin-contact pinot gris.
Pale, luminous pink-orange Pronounced nose of peach, blood orange and ginger, along with bergamot tea. Dry, medium (+) acidity, low silken tannins, medium alcohol (12.4%), medium body with medium (+) intensity orange, ginger and smoky tea playing out over a medium (+) length.
Lovely example of its type, so alive... probably wont improve with time, but can be held for a few years at least. Nice work Shashi! Cork.

Very good, unusually light-bodied shiraz-based field blend.
Pale, slightly opaque ruby Nose of cranberries, red cherry, muddled strawberry, stewed rhubarb with hints of blood orange and spices Dry, high acid, medium (-) fine tannins, medium (-) to low alcohol (10.9%), medium bodied, medium intensity tangerine, blood plum, cranberry and red cherry with notes of blood orange and spices, all lingering on a medium (+) finish.
Very good if unusual wine this, made by a scrupulously clean and detailed 'natural' winemaker. Drink now. Diam.
