About the Wine: Gewurztraminer is the unloved stepchild of German wine. It is not usually as sweet as Riesling nor as smooth as the Chardonnays and Pinot Grigios from France and Italy. It's also really hard to spell and pronounce. The Germans really should just call this "Rhine Wine." Knowing the Germans, they won't.
About THIS Wine: This wine is clear in the glass. Citrus dominates the nose and delivers on a fairly dry and acidic palate with notes of spice. Dryness and acidity linger in the finish. The experience strikes me as a rustic version of a dry Riesling.
Drinking This Wine: I don't know if this would work as a sipping wine. It would go well with honey roasted chicken or shellfish.
Overall Impression: The taste is too strong and too blunt for some but for those who can enjoy it, I'm thinking Sauvignon Blanc drinkers, it is good for the price.
