Gewurztraminer is a varietal that does particularly well in New Zealand in my tasting experience. Gorgeous nose of lychees with floral spicy notes. Voluptuous on the front and middle palates but finishes dry. The perfect wine with Asian food. In a word - delicious. Another brilliant Gewürztraminer is made at Gisborne in the North Island by Vinoptima whose goal it is to produce the worlds best Gewürztraminer to challenge the Grand Crus of Alsace. — 8 years ago

Light soft oak line, lemon, green apple, orange, bone dry acidity, mineral, wet stone, creamy, lovely finish, 2011 — 9 years ago
I want to love this beer based on its name Killarabbit, label, and the description of how it is made. In the end, it does not have any of the hoppy bitterness to be described as a double ipa, but instead is malty, yeasty, and has a complex sweetness (but no sourness) as a result of the Pinot noir barrel aging and bottle conditioning. — 9 years ago
Umm, not dry. Can't remember how much sugar, but it's about medium dry. Very good, too - mellow lemon, honey tones from age, generous, fresh and juicy through the palate, shapely and with bags of charm. — 10 years ago

This is the 2009. Red fruit, cola, spice, balanced-leaning-towards-bright acidity. Something smoky leads to a long and pleasant finish. Very pretty nose. This is a rare case where the wine actually seems better at home than it did at the winery. Loving this. — 9 years ago
Moderate plus acids drive this wine into a floral realm. Balance of this wine is at the top of the top. Beautiful wine, with an exciting mouth feel. — 9 years ago
