Peak Cellars Gewurztraminer 2019

86POINTS

15^½/20

Lake Country, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis gew was partial barrel fermented, partial skin contact, and partially with arrested fermentation to capture some of the grape's natural sweetness. Soap-led, with lime blossom, lemon sherbet, tangerine pith, sour melon on a tart, dryish palate, with the high acids buffered by 6 g/L RS. This finishes snappy and brisk, with a subtle shadow of ginger spicing.Tasted: 17 March 2021Tasted by: Prices:

Peak Cellars Gewurztraminer 2019

Lake Country, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom Carr's Landing Vineyard in Lake Country, portions of this wine are barrel fermented or see skin contact. The end result is a relatively simple gëwurztraminer with perfumed aromas and muddled stone fruits that are lacking some freshness. A pinch of residual sugar (6 g/L) helps to balance the bitterness on the finish. Correct and reasonably priced, but there's room for improvement.Tasted: 04 March 2021Tasted by: Prices:

Peak Cellars Gewurztraminer 2019

Lake Country, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis is a fun white wine with all Gewurztraminer's keynotes, including rose petals, orange blossoms, spice, and ginger. The palate follows on with similar, smooth flavours after three months of barrel ageing. In the end, there is a little stamp of BC savoury desert scrub to add complexity and depth. The winery suggests serving it with Singapore noodles, Korean bibimbap, vegetable curry, or Thai red duck curry. Good value.Tasted: 29 August 2020Tasted by: Prices:
