Fitzpatrick Family Vineyards Interloper Gewurztraminer 2015
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaUnmistakably gewürztraminer, this super ripe, round and fleshy white is full of rose petals, peach and melon to a gingersnap finish. A quarter was fermented in neutral oak, and all spent four months on the lees in stainless, upping gew's generosity further - almost too far. A bitter twist on the finish helps rein this in, but I hope for more acid on this Alsatian-style white in the future.Tasted: 09 February 2017Tasted by: Prices:

Fitzpatrick Family Vineyards Interloper Gewurztraminer 2015
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaWinemaker Sarah Bain is turning heads early with some delicious drinking wine. From Central Otago’s Burn Cottage and Quartz Reef, clearly she has a handle on cool. This 2015 reflects the warm year showing tropical litchi notes and orange on the nose, and it carries across the palate. The finish is off-dry, welcoming favourite curries, Thai dishes, roast turkey or pork. A mix of neutral barrels (25 percent) and stainless steel hosted the ferment and it all spends another four months on lees in stainless steel.Tasted: 28 December 2016Tasted by: Prices:
