2020 TWR (Te Whare Ra) "SV5182" Gewürztraminer Marlborough

SKU #1570839 94 points James Suckling

Outer quote mark Wow, this has so much rose perfume and lychee going on. Striking nose that’s so, so perfumed and alluring. The palate has a super-luscious texture and bold ripe peach and mango, banana and lychee. A riot of flavor. *James Suckling Top 100 of New Zealand 2021* Inner quote mark (11/2021)

92 points Vinous

Outer quote mark The 2020 Gewürztraminer positively bursts with lychees, roses and the fruit-salad penny chews of my childhood (although inflation probably means they're no longer a penny). Round, juicy and off-dry, the wine retains a sense of shape and definition. While it has reached 14% alcohol, it remains fresh, with a touch of spritz enlivening it further. The fragrant finish also provides a bit of tannic grip, giving a sense of reassuring structure and tying the wine up neatly. This cleverly made Gewürz shows that the makers at Te Whare Ra have a real handle on this grape. Enjoy in youth for its fabulous floral and fruity flamboyance. Inner quote mark (3/2022)

Additional Information:

Varietal:

Gewurztraminer

- Thought to have originated in the city of Tramin in Italy's Alto Adige, Gewürztraminer is actually a pink-skinned incarnation of the Traminer varietal, and also the most widely planted variation. Known for its heady perfume redolent of rose petals and spice and tropical lychee flavor, its fuller body and moderate acidity, it can be made in a variety of styles ranging from completely dry to sweet late harvest wines. The best representations of the grape are grown in Austria and France's Alsace, though it's being made in smaller quantities in Eastern Europe, Italy, the Pacific Northwest, California, New Zealand and Australia.

Country:

New Zealand

- New Zealand is an extremely diverse wine-growing nation. The long history of producing wine started in the 1830s with wineries such as Mission Estate (1850) and Te Mata Estate (1896) still producing wine today. The two islands hold a multitude of different growing climates ranging from warmer areas such as Hawke’s Bay to very cool regions such as Waitaki, and Awatere. Most regions are defined as Maritime with the exception being Central Otago that has a moderate Continental climate with the high elevation creating dramatic diurnal swings in temperature. The plethora of grapes grown in New Zealand reflects this diverse microclimate make up. Everything has a place here, Bordeaux varietals and Syrah in Hawke’s Bay, Chardonnay and Pinot in Nelson, Pinot Noir and Riesling in Central Otago , aromatic whites in Waipara and pretty much everything you can imagine in Marlborough. New Zealand is also one of the “greenest” wine producing nations on earth (94% of wine certified sustainable in 2013) with a strong focus on organic and Biodynamic farming.
