Blackenbrook Family Reserve Nelson Gewürztraminer 2019 $30

The thing I love about this wine is its cool, calm mood. Unlike a lot of gewürztraminer styles that are all jazz hands and stage voice, brash, blousy and wearing way too much perfume. This new release rolls out subtle ginger, rosewater and musky spices on the nose and unveils layers of nashi, nutmeg and poached peach on the palate. Having spent a quiet, sleepy year in bottle before release, it’s soothing, dry, softly styled and superb with Thai green chicken curry.
