Strewn’s new-ish winemaker, Marc Bradshaw, really loves his whites, and it shows. He’s made a Terroir Gewurztraminer that’s simply above the ordinary and this Riesling within the same line also over delivers. The nose mirrors the taste with wet stone an ...
Most people who claim not to like Gewurztraminer says it`s because it`s too sweet … the other 80% can`t pronounce it and don`t want to look foolish asking for it. But this Strewn number might help clean up the first complaint. The nose has got great Gew ...
This four vineyard selection of Gewurztraminer is downright simple, but also a great starting point for those with a passing interest in G-wines. The nose is pleasant, not too in-your-face, as some Gewurzt can be, with a pseudo-spiciness. Palate is much ...
This is some funky Chardonnay – but funky in a good way. The label says ‘barrel aged’ but it’s so much more than that, according to winemaker Marc Bradshaw. Some was barrel fermented; some barrel aged and some just had “barrel treatment” in various form ...
I remember liking previous versions of this wine, most notably the 2009 version, and this 2010 seems to take over where its predecessor left off. The nose is lemon and grapefruit with some sweetness on the sniffer giving the apparent smell of grapefruit c ...
This wine mixes the deliciousness of Riesling with the deliciousness of Gewurztraminer and succeeds nicely. There is no better way to put it than to say these grapes, separately, have a uniqueness and deliciousness all their own. Together it's a double ...
This is the kind of wine you think about when you hear those two French words strung together – Sauvignon Blanc. Grapefruit and asparagus cling to the olfactories like a drowning man to a lifeboat; the acidity keeps the mouth watering long after the swal ...
Icewine, it seems, is an acquired taste, kinda like Port and Sherry, and each one of us acquired it in a different way. Some like the high acid numbers, others like it sweet and sticky, others like it to be mouth-filling and syrupy ... to each his own I ...
I love late harvest wines more than I like icewine; I’m not sure, but I think it has something to do with the price and the sweetness level. Recently, late harvest wines have been getting a bad rap as de-classified icewine; though many wineries are now s ...

I doubt that 2008 is going to be known for its stellar red wines but there will be a few very good ones that'll emerge, like this Strewn number. A year like '08 screams for blending and winemaker Joe Will combined 40% of his Cabernet Sauvignon with 30 e ...
Summertime pinks are as much about simplicity as they are about refreshment. You don’t want to have to dig too deep when you’re pool-, patio- or lake-side to find the flavours in your rosé. This Strewn offering delivers pure pleasure without the shovel. ...
