Produced by the Glover family with Ben as winemaker, the vineyard for this is directly opposite Lawson Dry Hills, highlighting the suitability of this area for Gewürztraminer. There's plenty to like about this – some rose petal, lychees – classic flavours on a lightly oily, unctuous, but not heavy palate.
Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
"Established in 1985, the Glover Family Vineyards have inspired the family’s passion for wine. This family-owned Single Vineyard Gewürztraminer expresses the ethereal, aromatic and structural flair of the Dillons Point Sub-Region in Marlborough, New Zealand.
Colour | bright | intriguing | green hue
Nose | rose hip | ginger | fragrant
Palate | Persian spice | cardamon | textural | unctuous."
Rated Excellent & 94/100 Cameron Douglas MS, March 2025 (2024 Vintage)
"Fruity, varietal and elegant in its varietal power on the nose – scents of flowers especially rose then pineapple and lemon, stewed apple and clove, apricot and white peach. A just dry wine touches the palate, the core fruit flavours reflect the bouquet, then flavours of stone and mineral emerge layering in complexity and breadth. Fine fruit tannins and lees textures sit nicely alongside the idea of minerality and florals. Well made, overall harmonious and complex with best drinking from 2025 through 2030."
Matthew Jukes (2024 Vintage)
"Genius! This wine takes Spy Valley’s spindly, tense, scent-spritzed framework and adds gravitas and swagger to its core. While it is marginally richer than the perfume suggests, the finish is dramatically dry and ever so intellectually pleasing. I have not tasted a Gewurz in a long while that is as rewarding as this wine."
Susie Barrie MW & Peter Richards MW (UK), Susie & Peter New Zealand Wines of the Year 2026 (2024 Vintage)
"We found Ben Glover’s Zephyr wine to have everything we want from a young Kiwi Gewürztraminer. It’s beautifully exotic on the nose with classic ginger and Turkish Delight aromas, mid-weight in the mouth with just the right acid balance, and almost imperceptibly off dry."
