Mastronardi Estate Winery 2005 Gewurztraminer

I once heard a rumour that we drink gewurzt too young … it’s not a wine meant for long term aging but one or two years in bottle, allows the wine to really develop some great flavours and aromas. Two years removed from vintage date, this wine has smells of orange blossom and floral notes … while the taste is infinitely more complex with rose water, lemon and a hint of sweetness that cuts the acidity and makes this a fine drinking wine with a long-lasting and smooth finish....

Legends Estates 2006 Grey Ghost White

Legends received high marks from me during the Niagara New Vintage Festival for their 2006 Semillon – which was a wonderously summer-type wine, and the first straight Semillon in Ontario. Now it’s time to try a blend using that same Semillon and some Chardonnay. The nose is all citrus, mainly lemon, with hints of floral and melon, which must come from the Chardonnay side of things, leading me to believe there may be some Musque in here as well. The citrus-ness seems to back out on the tastebu...

Konzelmann 2006 Gewurztraminer Reserve

I have a feeling I was oriental in a past life, Chinese to be more specific. I also believe I liked western food: burgers, fries, hot dogs, you name it - because these days I am getting my karmic comeuppance as I constantly yen for Chinese food. Well I think I have found my wine to pair with the food from the Far East. This Gewurzt is quite tasty and a titch on the sweet side (2), though it does not taste that high. Rose petal, peach and allspice, all tread typical Gewurzt territory for the ...

Henry of Pelham 2006 Off-Dry Reserve Riesling

There must be something in the water up at Henry of Pelham, or at least in the wine – I think the Speck boys are getting drunk on their own stuff - because they consistently produce good quality wine at a very reasonable price. This off-dry Riesling is a prime example of what I am talking about … while the nose seems a little tight at the moment – I had to strain to get floral and apple out of it – the mouth is incredibly inviting with good palate cleansing acidity, refreshing flavours of white...

Fielding Estate Winery 2006 Gewurztraminer

This is one of winemaker Ray Cornell’s first wines that he made for Fielding and I would have to say he’s done an admirable job. Ray took over from one of Ontario’s white wine geniuses, Andrzej Lipinski. Some might see that as a daunting task, but Ray has taken up the reigns remarkably well. On the nose, you’ll find apple, citrus, lychee, cantaloupe rind and those telltale spices usually found in Gewurzt. The palate pretty much follows the nose down the fruity garden path of peachy-lychee an...
