Vinoptima Gewurztraminer 2004

Nick Nobilo, was winemaker of his family's winery Nobilo prior to selling to BRL Hardy, is now fulfilling his dream with a single variety vineyard dedicated to producing a wine worthy of comparison with the best Gewurztraminers from Alsace, France. To create a wine of true distinction, the day-to-day commitment of an experienced and dedicated winemaker is absolutely vital. Nick is meticuously involved in every step and is winning the hearts of critics and restaurateurs worldwide. If you like Gewurztraminer, you can't pass this one up--it's incredible and not easy to get ahold of!

A much broader, fuller wine than the 2003 requiring longer maturation prior to release. Golden in colour and exhibiting luscious aromas of lychees, melon fruits and scented honey. Aromatic, fruits and spices with intense fruit sweetness, yet finishing drier than would be expected. Tropical fruit flavours, accentuated by pineapple and mandarin orange to shine through. Perfectly balanced with delicate spicy accents of nutmeg and vanilla.

"A stunning nose of honey, melted butter and lemongrass, the palate suddenly shows an upsurge in concentration with brilliant harmony and focus. It remains taut and imbued with nervosite: a great skill in such a flamboyant aromatic" - Robert Parker
