Apple, lemon, lychee, limestone, hay and hints of pithy orange. Good acidity and balance.

So so, I generally don't think it's a compliment when someone says "you know this is a good example of this because I don't even like the style, and I love this one". Generally, it means it's not a very good example of the product in question. In this case though, this one is really well-made, and I hate Gewurztraminer, and because of that, I absolutely hate this one. But wow, it's really impressive, has everything I'm looking for, we're not looking for, and is super aromatic and spot on.

Not normally a big fan of Gewurtz but like this one a lot. More fruity than floral, good backbone and nice finish. Did die a little on day 2.

Rich and floral on the nose with a hint of spice. Dry and bright on the palate. Noticeable spice and minerality with almost no notion of fruit. Long, bright finish.
