Delicious and easy drinking, with tons of aromatic interest. Rose, lychee, mandarin, pear and clove. Palate has ample fruit and persistent juicy acidity. A touch off-dry - this wine was made to pair with Asian food and its perfect for that. I’ve enjoyed all of Kenny’s wines up to this point and this one is no different. Consistent value and quality winemaking.

Refreshing with light fruit and minerality. Excellent with spicy food.

Hit the spot. No, it's not Alsace but it has great minerality with notes of pear & lychee typical of gewurztraminer. Nice job!

Best wine I tasted all day. Dry, precise, not like drinking women's perfume. Good work Kenny.

Perfumed nose with a hint of petrol. Weighty and pure palate. A steal for Gewurtztraminer at its price.
