Mid Gold. Quite a rich colour for a 2016. A little Lychee on the nose but overall lacks varietal Gewürztraminer character. Very Dry. I was interested to compare with what I think are the best Gewürztraminer in Australia in Toppers Mountain and Symphony Hill both sourcing fruit from Toppers Vineyard near Inverell. Ochota is a quality wine but the Medals go to the other 2. The Symphony was the Champion White of the Toowoomba Wine Show a few weeks ago.

More like the texture of a Riesling, dry and chalky rather than a viscous aromatic Gewürztraminer. One of the most restrained and dry I have tried.

One of "The cool kids"
This must have been fun to make and it shows.
Musky, roses, lychee. A little lees time changes the Gewürztraminer game.

Turkish delight that's full and rich but needs more acid to make it work.
