85/100 45

A typically (for Te Whare Ra) bold, concentrated wine in a style that has earned the respect of Gewurztraminer drinkers. Slightly sweet with a creamy texture and flavours suggesting rose petal, vanilla pod and cinnamon. Plenty of warmth and richness driven at least in part by a high (14.5%) alcohol.

Tasted: Jan 2010   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $32 (~USD $27)
