Zephyr Marlborough Gewürztraminer 2019 $29
West of the Gin Wharf and the Whitebait Pozzie, on the Northside of the Opawa River, lies the Stopbank Block, and that’s where the Glover family have their gewürztraminer grapevines growing in deep, Kaiapoi silt loam soils. Back in 1988 Owen Glover began converting the family dairy farm to vineyards because those 4am starts were wearing thin. That was a time when the world was wearing pastels, we started watching Roseanne, and Nirvana recorded their first demo under the name Ted Ed Fred. Thirty two years later, son Ben is producing juicy music of his own with this gewürztraminer groaning with rose petal, spiced peach, feijoa and ginger-dusted aromatics and a smooth, luscious, mouthcoating palate. Chill it down before serving with something spicy and nicey.
