Perfect for the time of year, this is full-bodied but perfectly in balance. It has the usual lychee fruit that you'd expect from Gewurztraminer, but also firm apricot and gingery spice. Fermented in steel with four months on fine lees, it's slightly off-dry at 14g/l of residual sugar). Pair it with a Thai prawn curry.
