Wine Review: This very bright straw-colored Gewurztraminer from Pellegrini opens with a very inviting lychee bouquet. On the palate, this wine is light plus bodied with medium acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced and round. The flavor profile is a very tasty lychee with notes of apricot and white peach. I also detected some hints of chamomile tea and spice. The finish is pleasant, off dry, and lingers nicely. This Gewurtz would pair nicely with cashew chicken. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: This "spicy" Traminer is a fine example of a musque clone. Sharing the same aromatic components as lychee, our Gewürztraminer delivers a combination of clove, passion fruit and caramel on the palate with rich mouth feel and a smooth lingering finish. Serve as an aperitif or with cuisine that matches its spicy intensity such as Indian, Asian and barbecue.
