Bladen Marlborough Gewurztraminer 2015 $25 ★★★★
Brand new and bursting with all manner of spicy ginger and lychee-laden loveliness, this great little gewürztraminer is definitely on my ‘new favourites’ list. It’s quite high in alcohol (14.5%) so expect a touch of warmth in the mid-palate, but it works with the crisp, mineral notes, tangy peach and pear flavours and juicy length of flavour. It’ll only get better over the coming year or two also. www.bladen.co.nz
