Tasting Notes: Quails' Gate makes a delightful Gewurztraminer every year, loaded with ripe honey dew, lychee fruit and sweet orange blossom aromas with light mineral and spicy notes.
The palate is oily, chewy and off-dry, typical for the Alsatian variety. What makes the 2011 memorable is the rich fruit flavours are balanced with a higher level of acidity from the cooler, late harvest vintage. Enjoy this wine in its youth. The lingering citrus and spice flavours with pair nicely with a tangy spinach salad with walnuts, beets and goat's cheese. Drink 2012-2014.
