| "Based on the wonderfully named Edelzwicker blend from Alsace, this Tasmanian version of gewurztraminer, riesling and pinot gris has steely acidity to counter it’s heady perfume. An intriguing white on its own or with delicate canapés, it’s a good cure for sauvignon blancitis." Greg Duncan Powell, Sydney Morning Herald – July 2007
"This three-way blend of riesling, gewürztraminer and pinot gris is an Alsace lookalike, and very successful. Fragrantly spicy with good flavour intensity and structural authority. It’s different: juicy, deep and long with a clean, dry finish." 92 pts, Huon Hooke, Gourmet Traveller Wine – June 2007
"Winemaker Andrew Pirie looked to a blend of “noble” grape varieties as the inspiration for this lively young Tasmanian white. A blend of Riesling, gewürztraminer and pinot gris, it shows plenty of lychee-like traminer aromas, but citric Riesling and mellow, honeyed pinot gris make an admirable contribution. The fruity palate is soft and slightly unctuous, with nicely balanced, clean acidity." 4 Stars, Ralph Kyte Powell, The Age – May 2007. | |
