Averill Creek Gewurztraminer 2014
Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaThis cool climate gewürztraminer leaps from the glass with lemon blossom, pear and fragrant lime. The crisp, zesty palate displays the same - dominated by lively key lime peel and spicy ginger, and centered with tight green apple, bright melon, herbal anise and lychee and finishing with perfumed blossoms. No flabby gewürztraminer here, but rather a tight, energetic and vibrant spiced white, ideal for a summer al fresco seafood dinner or Vietnamese flavours. Rethink the Wine Islands with this.Tasted: 20 May 2015Tasted by: Prices:BC | $15.82 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
