The 2024 Gewürztraminer bursts from the glass with a vibrant bouquet of exotic tropical fruits, unfolding into layers of lychee, ripe apricot, and sun-kissed melon, wrapped in a delicate veil of fresh rose petals and orange blossom. On the palate, this wine is rich and smooth, with a plush texture that amplifies the opulence of its fruit-forward profile. Hints of spiced pear, ginger, and citrus zest add dimension, while a gentle acidity keeps everything lifted and bright. The finish is long and perfumed, echoing with floral and fruit notes that linger gracefully. The slight sweetness and exotic flavors complement spicy dishes like Thai curry, Szechuan chicken, tikka masala, or Vietnamese pho. Pair with rich and creamy cheeses like aged Gouda. Grilled shrimp, scallops, or sushi can enhance the tropical and pepper notes. Lightly-sweet desserts like fruit tarts or cobbler echo the wine's tropical profile.

The 2024 Gewürztraminer features expressive rose petal and lychee aromas on the nose, while the medium-bodied palate is just sweet enough (seven grams per liter of residual sugar) to give it some plumpness and counter the touch of bitterness that's present on the finish. The result is nicely balanced and nicely priced too.
