LCBO Note Status Recommended by Vintage Assessments!
TASTING NOTE: This is always one of the top Gewürztraminers produced in Ontario. This version is from the warm 2016 vintage, and the season's heat has been translated into noticeable fruit ripeness on the palate. Baking spice, ginger and gorgeous floral and lychee tones round out the flavour profile. Textured and long, this will drink well for 2-3 years and will be a fine pairing for chicken curry or spicy barbecued shrimp. (Vintages panel, Sept. 2018) Price $ 18.95
