TASMANIAN WINES: Gewurztraminer

Gewurtz' is a German word meaning "spiced" and the Gewurztraminer variety certainly boasts exceptional spicy flavours. It is sometimes referred to simply as "Traminer". You will find it contains the spicyness of cloves and nutmeg, and also flower-like flavours similar to lychees or roses. Hence it is a very fragrant wine. It is more richly coloured than other varieties of white wine, generally showing tones of gold or peach. Best drunk early (within 5 years of harvest), as it does not often age well. Great compliment for spicy foods such as Thai, Chinese and Indian curries.

Spring Vale Gewurztraminer 2006
Continuing in the tradition of hard work and innovation established by William Lyne in 1826, Rodney and Lyn Lyne have planted 6.6 hectares of wine grapes at Spring Vale, principally Pinot Noir. The vineyard began in 1986, when a small area of two acres was planted to Pinot Noir. Further plantings were made in the following years: firstly, more Pinot Noir, then Chardonnay and Gewürztraminer, followed by Pinot Gris in 1996. The most recent plantings are of still more Pinot Noir and a splash of Pinot Meunier.
Intense varietal aromas of lychees and rosewater. A touch of sweetness teams well with tight acid and firm phenolic backbone to produce a stylish aromatic wine.
