Summerhouse Gerwurztraminer 2009
NZD $26.00
The intense aroma is of lychees, turkish delight and honey. The palate is mouthfilling with abundant spicy, sweet ginger, and turkish delight flavours. The noticable residual sweetness is nicely balanced giving a lovely lingering mouthfeel.

Trinity Hill Arneis 2008
NZD $15.00
Arneis (pronounced: are-NAYS) is an ancient white grape variety originating near Alba in the Piemonte region of north-west Italy.
After gentle whole-bunch pressing of the grapes, the juice was fermented in stainless steel and older barrels. Following a short maturation on yeast lees, the wine shows delicate aromas of pears with a hint of almond and a soft, round palate with good acidity.

Pasqua Grappa di Amarone
NZD $75.00
Watch out, you might get what you're after. This is a fierce and fiery Italian specialty made from the distilled spirit of leftover pressed grape skins. Potent yet appealing.
-
Johanneshof Gewurtztraminer 2009
NZD $30.00
Medium in style this exotically perfumed wine has a bouquet of lychees, roses and turkish delight. The lusciuos and opulent palate is full of ginger, marzipan and spices. A great wine to drink with spicy dishes.

Siefried Gewurztraminer 2008
NZD $23.00
The Brightwater Vineyard vines are grown in an extremely stony area of the vineyard, where water and nutrient levels are low. This helps us to restrict the plants vigour and to crop at low levels. To further enhance the aromatics, leaves were removed to allow light penetration and air movement around the fruiting zone. Gewürztraminer is an early ripening variety with an aromatic, fragrant bouquet. It is naturally a low yielding vine which can produce wonderful concentration and flavour. After harvest the grapes were de-stemmed and left for a period of skin contact before pressing. The clear juice was inoculated with a pure yeast strain and then a cool, temperature-controlled fermentation began. The fermentation was stopped prematurely to allow 10g/L residual sweetness in the wine.
