Pleasant surprise. Zesty acidity and great mouth-feel in this medium weight Gewurzt. Nose of melon and petrol. Tight citrus/spicy finish - would get this again but doubt I'll have the chance. Went very well with the King Clip and Potato Fries I had it with.

Very nicely aromatic, lychee and peach. Soft on the palate but with an excellent zing, a slight touch of fizz at this point, peach and lychee with some lemon-lime in the finish. Young, fresh, great quaffer.

(Lamoreaux Landing Wine Cellars Gewurztraminer) The nose has faint rose petal and lychee notes, but it's the honeydew melon, ginger, and blood oranges that really stand out. Medium-to-full bodied and dry, the flavors are similar with loads of melon and ginger with just subtle rose petals in the background. At 13.9% ABV, this is a hefty wine for the region, but it's not heavy or disjointed. Thai food is the cliche pairing for gewurzt, but I actually think it works perfectly with this one.

Medium-to-full bodied and dry, the flavors closely match the nose with loads of melon and ginger with rose petals in the background.
