New Zealand’s most aromatic white? This must be close...
Gewurztraminer. It's a mouthful to say, but at its best the grape also offers mouthfilling peach, apple and pear flavours with some of the most exhilarating freshly-cut fruit aromas you’re ever likely to experience.
Inspired by the highly aromatic wines she encountered and created while travelling through northern Italy and France, it was only a matter of time before Alana McGettigan (shown left) turned her significant skills to Gewurztraminer.
She coaxes out all this unique varietal's breathtakingly aromatic and exotic fruit flavours. What's more, she ensures it retains a laser-like intensity and crispness that is only found in the finest examples.
But credit also goes to Alana's aunt and uncle. It was they who supplied her with the premium, small parcels of quality Gewurztraminer. Despite the fickle nature of the grape, they managed cultivate awe-inspiring richness, and Alana wasn't about to let their hard work go to waste. This home-grown triumph is surely her masterpiece.
And if you love Thai food, there is probably no better match in our whole range. The ginger, rose petal and lime aromas and succulent white peach and nectarine flavours marry beautifully with a whole range of exotic, highly spiced dishes.
