Slow Wine Co Gewurztraminer 2021

 



The first stop on my Orange adventure took me to the Slow Wine Co cellar door. A beautiful building in the historic town of Millthorpe, this was a great starting point.

Slow Wine Co Tribus 2022

 


A blend of Pinot Gris, Riesling and Gewurztraminer (55/27/18), this blend is incredibly food friendly. Pretty scents and some textural pleasure, there is something here for everyone.

Clandestine Vineyards Break Free Petite Blancs 2022

 

Deadly smooth, this Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay and Gewurztraminer blend slides through like silk.

Even Keel Field Blend 2019

 

Sam Coverdale is a mysterious but incredibly hilarious individual. He's always thinking and scheming. Here we have a field blend but that's all I know. No varieties listed. No deets on the label, and that's okay. In a world where so many things are handed out on a platter, live on the edge a little and embrace the element of surprise. I did and I loved it!

Arfion Fever 2019



Fever. This is an electric skin contact wine from the ever creative and open minded Dave Mackintosh. What a masterful wine and then some. I dig it big time!

Bungawarra Wines Gewurztraminer 2018



Bungawarra is a label worth keeping an eye on now even more so that Tom Battle has come on board. A local Granite Belt product himself, Battle is a clever operator. His ability is clear with this his first Gewurz release for his new venture.

Te Whare Ra Toru SV5182 2018

A delightful wine that glides through the mouth. Off-dry, an ideal friend for dumplings and pork buns.

Robert Stein Farm Series Semillon Riesling Gewurztraminer 2018


No bottle pic of this wine on the website but it's the same as the Rosé - just not pink.
One whiff and the impact of the Gewurtz in the blend is obvious. A white ready go chow down some Thai, Malaysia or something with a little spice kick.

Rymill Coonawarra GT Gewurztraminer 2018


I had the opportunity to taste this recently at a Rymill members event I was invited along to. Some spicy southern chicken sliders went around the room to match - yummo!

Kellybrook Estate Reserve Gewurztraminer 2017


Gewurztraminer from the Yarra Valley is as rare as hen's teeth. Planted in 1976, this is a delightful cool climate expression.

Robert Stein Semillon Riesling Gewurztraminer 2017

A modern twist on a blend first launched by winemaker Jacob Stein's grandfather 40 years ago. Today, this is a field blend, wild fermented and held on skins for seven days, finishing fermentation on heavy lees to build texture.

Hidden Creek Gewurztraminer 2017


Andy Williams and his wife Leeanne have taken the reigns at Hidden Creek. The cellar door has been reinvigorated with a new menu. 2017 was the first vintage with Andy in the winery flying solo after numerous winemaking roles elsewhere. This Gewurz is the first for Hidden Creek and is the first Andy has made as well.

La Violetta YÉ-YÉ Blanc 2017

An out there blend of Riesling, Gewürztraminer and Viognier (86/10/4) sure to pulverise a few, but it's finger licking good. Coupled with the attractive aromas and textural appeal, it's one of those wines which you'll be madly in love with or not.

La Violetta Wines Ye-Ye Grise 2016


I initially knew very little about this wine. A friend brought this over for lunch on the weekend. I like the label, I love the wine - so delicious!

Magpie Estate The Salvation Gewürztraminer 2016


An off-dry style with the fruit wrestling the attention away slightly from the pretty aromatics usually seen taking centre stage with this variety. Lychee, lemon pith, and ginger spice are lapping at the shore. Fresh and crisp, that dab of sweetness makes this a fab match for Thai and Malaysian dishes.
I'd just have a glass chilled down hard as an apreitif.

Drink now.

88/100 - Good

St John's Road Gee Whiz Tram Driver Traminer Riesling 2015

I learnt something new today - Gee Whiz Tram Driver is Barossan slang for Gewürztraminer. There you go.

An interesting wine for varying reasons, one of them being that the vines are 'sheep pruned' to keep with the minimal intervention approach. 15% Riesling was also blended in.

To the wine: pretty aromas of rose water, Turkish Delight, purple and white flowers, musk, a touch of honey too.

Long days need wines like these. It's crisp, fresh and very moreish with a slatey edge. That musk and rose water really kick through here to a long finish. It's dry and it's bloody tasty.

I'd have a couple of glasses easy... And I did.

Drink now.

Very good.
