I purchased this wine at Kroger and it was recommended to me by Dennis. He stated that this wine contained floral, lychee, and spiced flavors. While I didn’t pick up on much of the spiced flavors, I definitely tasted, and enjoyed the floral and lychee flavors this wine contained.
According to Wine Folly, page 115, a Gewürztraminer is an aromatic white wine that contains intense floral aromas, which were evident when I tried the wine. This wine is also known for its lychee, rose, grapefruit, tangerine and ginger taste. Personally, I tasted lychee and tangerine the most, but not the ginger and rose.
I thoroughly enjoyed this wine! I loved the lychee and citrusy flavors and its strong floral aromas. It was a sweet wine with low acidity and tannins. This was fuller bodied white wine, but not overbearing, I really enjoyed how each sip was filled with flavor. Overall, a very enjoyable wine that I would definitely purchase again.
I did not try this wine with food.
