2009 Astrolabe Marlborough Gewurztraminer
|
|
Because of its difficult growing nature and rather 'unfashionable' name it is so hard to find quality gewurztraminer at sensible money. The 2009 Astrolabe however is a beauty. "Gently aromatic wine with concentrated Turkish delight, tree fruit, vanilla pod and cinnamon/spice flavours. Silken-textured and appealing wine with strong varietal definition. Made from a mix of hand-harvested and machine-harvested (at night only) grapes that were given a gentle press to achieve a gentle texture. Made in a moderately sweet style with 22.1 g/l of residual sugar although the wine is beautifully balanced without any suggestion of cloying." Bob Campbell
