Another excellent vintage for Tinhorn Creek's Gewurztraminer - I love the crisp and fragrant style.
The 2012 leads with lychee and rose-scented cold cream, exotic spice and a spritz each of tangerine oil and pink grapefruit. It boldly walks the line between crisp and slick (an almost oily texture). It has a whisper of sweetness that underscores the tropical fruit, sweet spice and lengthy grapefruity finish. Lovely concentration and freshness.
Perfect for pairing with lightly spiced dishes such as chilled noodle salads or pork, turkey, ceviche or an Alsatian onion tart.
