I’ve loved Stonecroft gewürztraminer since aeons ago, yet this is the first time I’ve tried it made in a dessert style and I’ve got to say, it’s a real treat. I love the tangy, musky, ginger and lychee flavours, all wrapped up in a layer of manuka honey and spice. The acidity is super-refreshing and provides beautiful balance to the intense natural sweetness. This organically produced, dessert wine is drinking well as a baby, but I can’t wait to see how it develops over the next few years. Serve with a wedge of aged, crumbly cheddar. Yum!
