It’s no wonder Gewurztraminer is one of the four noble grape varieties in Alsace, France. 👏👏👏 It’s uniquely expressive, perfumed, rich, and oily with youthful and pronounced aromas 👃 of lychee, açaí, papaya, mango, pineapple, also sweet spices of cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, and rose, stargazer lily, elderflower, and wet stone. 🤩🤩🤩
👁 This wine is deep gold. 👄 It’s dry with a modicum of residual sugar. It has medium acidity, a medium(+) body, medium alcohol, and pronounced flavors, consistent with the nose, including notes of lychee, açaí, papaya, mango, pineapple, also sweet spices of cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, and rose, stargazer lily, elderflower, and wet stone. The finish is medium(+).
We’ve paired this wine with grilled vegan brats and roasted zucchini.

Very light, elderflower soda esque — a month ago
It’s like walking through a elderflower, chamomile, honeysuckle forest with a granite stream of water underneath. There’s also lychee, pear, peach, some more flowers. There’s an underlying tropical/floral shrub character on finish. I could smell for days. Outstanding and lived up to hype. Best Gewürztraminer I’ve had. — 2 years ago
Slight diesel starting on the nose. Elderflower on the nose. Floral, grassy — being a little bit tart (sour gooseberry) at the end is the only downside — 4 years ago
Pale gold in colour. Black olives, yellow pears, and elderflower on the nose. Wet stones are there also. The salinity and fleshiness of black olives pops up on the palate, as well as a bit past overripe yellow pears and a tinge of balsamic sweetness. — 4 years ago

Pale lemon colored, the 2020 Cloudy Bay is a bit more restrained than recent vintages and offers fresh aromas of asparagus, green bell pepper, gooseberry, elderflower, lemon zest, yellow apple, white peach and a dash of smoke. On the palate, the spiky acidity lends this medium bodied Sauvignon Blanc a vibrant freshness alongside a juicy finish. Drink now until 2024 — 2 years ago
Well balanced SB. No sharpness and very little acidity. Elderflower and fruit nose comes through nicely — 4 years ago

Quite light lemon yellow , very persistent , fine bubbles . Quite taut and strict on the nose , chalk dust , white flowers , honey suckle and elderflower , lemon peel , touch oyster shell and a touch of fresh baked bread . On the palate really good volume and density , lively acidity . Lots of citrus with good mineral , oyster shell notes . Long and mineral , saline, tinged finish , hint of toasty brioche on the end . This is really quite young and shows tighter and more mineral than the first bottle we had . Would leave this a few years and will have a long life , better in 10 -15 years and last well a further 10 or so . Great potential — 19 days ago
