The Wine
From the cool slopes of Kuitpo, delicate, bone dry and textural – just how Gewürz should be. Lychee fruit, lemon zest, and Turkish delight, wrapped around hints of fresh ginger and lavender. Pair with food for a whole new dimension and watch the spice pop.
Food... A perfect match for spicy dishes, seafood or cheese.
Dinking... Drink now while young and fresh, or up to 2021.
