Gewurztraminer

Hyland Estates

Single Vineyard Old Vine McMinnville Gewurztraminer 2024

Pale white, pristine clarity. Aroma of flowers, maybe pine/pineapple. Slight viscosity, almost dry. Back label is accurate, speaking of flavors like orange peel with hints of peach and spice. Honeysuckle? Maybe. Slight seed bitterness on finish. Not crisp but decent acidity. One of the best Oregon GTs I’ve had, honestly - great fruit handled minimally and sensitively. Bravo — 9 days ago

Schoffit

Lieu-Dit Harth Cuvée Caroline Gewurztraminer 2022

Medium golden color. Very expressive aromas of rose petals, honeysuckle, melon, orchids and Asian spices. Flavors of apricot, peaches, tropical fruit, honey and ginger. Nice touches of mandarin orange and minerals on the long and elegant finish. Pleasant viscous/oily texture. Subtle acidity but still very well balanced. So complex, concentrated and bold but also very harmonious. — 10 months ago

Alsace Gewurztraminer 2017

A little toward the semi-sweet but still a crispness and great lychee fruit throughout. — 5 years ago

Oliver Winery & Vineyards

Gewurztraminer 2018

They have updated the label since. Sweet and a little syrupy mouthfeel. About as sweet as I'll go in a white. But a great value! Only a little bit of "overripe pear" note on day three of being open. A crowd-pleaser, as well. One of Oliver's less "cheapy" sweet options. A worthy buy. — 7 years ago

The store was out of Gewurz when I visited. 😢

@Tom Casagrande, too bad, but I think his model is focused on selling prearrival, so what’s in the retail store represents remaining allocations he purchased that didn’t sell on prearrival. At least that’s my sense??

Hella remainders in that store is all I can say! Almost overwhelming to see so many great, hard-to-get producers.

Pierre Sparr

Grande Réserve Alsace Gewurztraminer 2022

Lemony, sweet-ish but not overly so, not tart. It has an interesting character/depth that I find really enticing. I loved this for Thanksgiving. Suggested by Ian at Pamplemousse. — 10 months ago

Hugel et Fils

Édition Limitée Grossi Laüe Alsace Gewurztraminer 2010

Light straw yellow.
Very expressive and generous. Not as sweet as anticipated, which is a good thing. Lots of ginger and beautiful lemony fruity notes (-zest, -curd, -oil). Touches of apricot, pineapple,lychee and pickles. Tropical flowers, as well.
Gorgeous wine!

Perfect expression of the varietal, palate begins with honey, finishes long. Pithy tropical notes after a bit...needs to be cold. Stands up to a fatty steak and salty fare. — 7 years ago
