Description
Most Ontario Gewurztraminers fall between $17 and $20 on the price scale, this Chateau des Charmes offering falls at the upper end, but Gewurzt fans will be thrilled by its typicity, how it stays true to form without diverging from what you know and love about Gewurzt. The smells are reminiscent of a summer afternoon in the park: floral, in particular, rose petal with a very inviting spiciness. The palate is peaches, apricots and floral notes which cut through the mid-palate. The finish is rosy and spicy with a touch of acidic bite. Now you can’t bring this to the park, but the backyard is a great place to experience this wine this summer … better yet, pair with your favourite spicy food while you’re out there. Price: $19.95
