Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"An intensely pure bouquet of fresh lychee, white peach and apricot with delicate nuances of orange peel and ginger. Concentrated floral and fruit flavours dance on a deliciously plush palate that is balanced by juicy acidity with a dry and lengthy finish.

The floral nature of this Gewurztraminer lends itself to aromatic dishes, particularly those with spices and ginger. Try pairing this wine with a fragrant Chinese dish, such as Mapo tofu or the spice of a Thai red duck curry."

94/100 Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review, November 2023 (2022 Vintage)
"Intense wine with restrained lusciousness and good varietal definition with lingering flavours suggesting Turkish delight, lychee, and potpourri. Impressive wine with a hint of sweetness that is nicely balanced by gentle, fruity acidity. Should develop well with a little bottle age."

4 Stars Cuisine NZ Other Whites Tasting, February 2024 (2022 Vintage)
"Medium in the glass with a rich, inviting nose of dried citrus, stone fruit and exotic spice. The concentrated palate is creamy yet textural with a delightful spicy ginger-biscuit character that makes this wine very moreish."

92/100 Cameron Douglas MS, October 2022 (2022 Vintage)
"A powerful bouquet of flowers and tropical fruits, apples and baking spices, a very herbaceous quality with a cool-climate lemon talc quality. A satin texture touches the palate with core fruit flavours that mirror the bouquet from apples to lychee nut, white fleshed nectarine to roses. A classic style, classically made, balanced and ready to drink from 2024 through 2026+."
