Hefty Gewurz-y

Olssens Gewurztraminer may look innocent enough.  The label even refers to the wine as "slightly off-dry."  Yet this Gewurz packs a wallop with 14% alcohol.  And it works fairly well.

Olssens Gewurztraminer, 2003 ($14)

  • From Central Otago - South on the South Island of New Zealand
  • Faint white gold in color; almost water-like
  • Delicate scents for a Gewurz: light lychee, lime, and apricot; coupled with a blossom-y aroma
  • Very, very slightly off-dry (to most of us, this would be a dry wine).  Light-bodied for a Gewurz with such a high amount of alcohol. Balanced acidity and simple flavors

*** (3 stars out of 5)

Try it with some spicy, sweet Asian foods like Turkey in Jade.
