“Huge potential in New Zealand … eschewing that obvious aroma of lychee for a more complex, less pungent & refined bouquet.” Neal Martin, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, USA
Voluptuous in breadth & weight, with smooth texture & subtle acidity. NZ Gewürztraminer is extremely fragrant, with rose petals, lychee, cinnamon & ginger characters commonly seen. North Island styles tend towards broader, more textural styles whereas the South Island regions produce wines more linear in structure and distinctly aromatic.
