Pronounced Guv-erz-tram-ee-ner, this aromatic white wine variety is characterised by rose petal, lychee and Turkish delight aromas with some examples showing spicy notes. The palate shows lychee and rose water flavours and it can have a slightly oily texture and mouthfeel. Gewürztraminer can be quite full-bodied, more so than most other white wines. It performs best in cool climates such as Tasmania and the Eden Valley where the conditions allow natural acidity to be retained. Gewürztraminer’s ability to match Asian cuisine means it has become a firm favourite with Australian drinkers.
