Sweet Wine from New Zealand - Central Otago & Waitaki
Review Date : 16-Mar-2023
Bright, even, pale yellow-gold. The nose is gently full, with aromas of lychee, ripe pear, a hint of spice and magnolia. Medium-bodied aromas of lychee, ripe pear intermixed papaya, honey, ginger and magnolia flower. The wine shows a lovely weight of sweetness with a honey tone; balanced acidity carries a round, floral finish. This late harvest Gewurztraminer shows a pure fruit expression with honey and spice on a soft mouthfeel. Match with panna cotta and Manchego cheese over the next 3-5 years. Fermented in stainless steel to 10% alc, 139 g/l RS. Vegan friendly. 17.5/20 pts (88 pts) Mar 2023 RRP $42 (375ml)
