Traminer Wines

This is an intensely perfumed wine that shows lots of florals and red berried fruits on the nose with wafts of tropical fruits. The palate is light and dry with citrus and tropical flavours, easygoing acidity, and a dry, delicate finish. It's made...

The grape variety Gewurztraminer has been shortened to ’Traminer for ease of pronunciation. Fresh rosewater and slices of ginger parry subtly with undertones of lychee and blossom. The Rapier scythes across the palate balancing lifted floral fru...

Light yellow, bright colour. Rich spice and apricot aromas. Quite a lot of sweetness with rich apricot and spice palate flavours and lovely texture. Very rich Alsace style. Impressive wine that is powerful, dense and textural. Phenolics are well h...

The clouds and rain of'11 had a silver lining for Tim Knappstein when botrytis descended, and he was able to make this marvellously opulent and rich (and very sweet) wine. On the German scale, it would be headed towards Trockenbeerenauslese level....

Deep gold; a fragrant and intense bouquet of ginger, rosehip, candied orange and apricot; while rich on entry, the finish dries out with a toffee brittle character that is refreshing and engaging; certainly more than just a curio.

Light straw-green; has more varietal character than many, especially from the Hunter Valley; distinct honey/honeydew and rose petal aromas, then a juicy palate with distinct sweetness on the finish; 500ml.

Delicate yet pungent pear/apple aromas. Tight palate structure showing good varietal fruit characters and supported by crisp acidity.

Intense sweet lime aromas - quite oily - and luscious, mouthfilling sweet fruit flavours.

Lovely lifted tropical fruit aromas and excellent sugar/acid balance on the toasty, buttery palate. "Would be sensational with a laksa."

Sourced from the Woodbury Vineyard high in the Eden Valley, this gewurztraminer has a beautifully pure lychee and rosewater nose - really delicate, fragrant and enticing. The palate has a thread of honey, quite creamy, smooth and supple; flavours ...

Glowing golden-orange; botrytised traminer was picked in June, a very successful move. The wine has intense apricot, spice and lychee fruit, balanced by good acidity. A bargain, ready now. 375ml.

Beautifully flavoured and weighted, with a penetrative, heady, floral perfume of lychee, rose oil, honeysuckle and tangerine backed by meaty, mineral and cinnamon-like nuances. Long and enticing, with a vibrant tangy presence of pure varietal frui...

Floral/musky nose and well-handled balance between floral/musky flavours and residual sugar.

Medium to full yellow, with just a touch of green; the palate is rich and full with tropical apricot and cumquat aromas initially dominant, but with some Traminer spice appearing as the wine breathes. There is a similar melange of flavours on the ...

Medium yellow-green; there is intense lime, lychee and rose petal varietal fruit on the bouquet, which cascades through onto the powerful, all-encompassing palate. Almost claustrophobic, and certainly very varietal.

Light yellow-green; the bouquet is light, but has quite clear lychee and lime aromas. The palate likewise has spice, lychee and lime flavours running through to a clean but soft finish.

Orange-yellow; an exotic bouquet of marmalade, spice and honey follows through into a rich palate of marmalade and gingerbread flavours.

Light yellow-green; the bouquet abounds with strong spicy /lychee varietal character, which continues on unabated on the palate. Would have received much higher points were it not for the fairly vicious acid attack on the finish.
