A lot going on. The sweetness makes it amiable but the acidity is pronounced. Good with food. Good without. Interesting and easy at the same time. I like it.

Faint lychee. Off-dry. Low acid. Phenolics on the finish.

Great entry level example of Alsatian Gewurztraminer - classic, barely off-dry wine with aromas and flavors of lychee, rose petal and ginger. Medium acidity - will be wonderful with Indian and Thai dishes as well as Alsatian cuisine, especially tarte Flamande and roast pork.

A bit cloying, even without being sweet. Not sure on the balance of this one.

Great spice and lychee profile, but needed more acidity to hold everything together.
