Thornhaven Gewurztraminer 2018
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaExtravagant nose with diagnostic gewürztraminer aromas: lychee, Turkish delight, orange peel, heady blossoms, and cosmetics. Similar flavours suffuse the palate in quite a rich way, with marmalade, baked apples, and peach nectar. There is surprisingly bright acidity that counters a touch of sweetness on the finish that is entirely appropriate. Another strong effort from Thornhaven, and one for roasted turkey or baked ham.Tasted: 17 July 2019Tasted by: DJ KearneyPrices:BC | $19.00 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
