Description “Of all the whites I’ve made this year, Richard Lakeit Jr., winemaker of Caroline Cellars told me, “this is clearly my favourite.” I’ll tell you what this “clearly” is – it’s the best Gewürzt-value in Niagara. While most Gewurztraminer’s coming out are between $15 and $20, this fourteen dollar bargain is just that, a bargain – and with only 300 cases of this 12% beauty available, it should go fast. The fruit comes from 3-year-old vines, so it’s very young, and it shows that vibrancy is the bottle. Lots of soft floral, lychee and wildflowers on the nose – the taste brings up the floral to a rosy level with a cracked white pepper like spicy finish … but not over-powering – it’s light and easy on the finish. And those fearful of sweetness should not shy away from this one, it’s a zero, perfect as a summer afternoon sipper at a price you can while-away a few hours and bottles, without feeling guilty. Price: $14.00
