Open Riesling-Gewürztraminer 2010

August 3rd, 2011 Chuck Posted in Canada, Gewürztraminer, Riesling No Comments »

This VQA fuses two great varietals and the outcome is a success in my books since characteristics from both grapes are allowed to shine through. The palette is crisp all around with a slightly sweet yet tart citrus finish.
This bottle was well received by 3 of 3 white wine drinkers at the table.
Tip: Serve well chilled

Taste pear, tropical fruit, floral

Pelee Island Gewürztraminer 2009

If you’re looking for a sweeter white wine with loads of honey and pear notes, look no further. Serve this nice and cold but take it easy, as the easy drinking nature hides it’s 12.5% alcohol content very well!
This is the non-VQA version, do I mind? nope. Watch for the hint of spice on the finish.
Tip: tulip glass

Taste sweet fruit, honey, pear

Strewn Riesling Gewürztraminer 2007

April 9th, 2009 Chuck Posted in Canada, Gewürztraminer, Riesling No Comments »

This fusion of whites provides a deep bouquet and crisp palette. It’s an ok buy, but I would recommend the Pillitteri over it and even Strewn’s regular riesling.
Best as an aperitif
Tip: balloon glass

Taste pineapple, apple, cinnamon
Smell tropical fruit, pineapple, pear
Food aperitif
Sweetness off dry

Delheim Gewürztraminer 2007

January 13th, 2008 Archive Posted in Gewürztraminer, South Africa No Comments »

From the winemaker www.delheim.com
Litchi and Turkish delight aromas with a good balance between sugar and
acidity. The long aftertaste with a dry-sweet finish makes this a perfect choice
with lightly spiced cuisine such as curry and Thai food dishes.
Grapes were handpicked. Crushing and destemming, followed by mash-cooling
with 4 hours skin contact. The juice was left to settle overnight with pectolitic
enzymes. Cold fermentation in steel tanks with the aid of selected yeast
strains. Fermentation arrested with the centrifuge to retain residual sugar.
