Floral hints, suggestive of rose petals, intertwine with Turkish delight, spices, oriental musk, incense and candle smoke. It is big-boned and mouth-filling with a smooth, unctuous texture, balanced by a long dry finish.

TWR has a long standing reputation for producing one of NZ's finest Gewürztraminer and much of the credit must go to their vineyard. This wine is produced solely from 14 rows in the old block which were planted in 1979 and are some of the oldest vines in Marlborough. Intensely perfumed, with notes of lychees, mango, ripe oranges and cloves. These lead into luscious varietal flavours of lychee and quince, with underlying characters of ginger and exotic spice. The palate shows intense fruit concentration and weight with a fine, soft texture and excellent persistence of flavour.
