Fragrant, persistent, pristine.
Made from Gewurztraminer with Riesling, Pinot Auxerrois, Muscat and Pinot Blanc and laden with liberal fruit; think stone fruits, green apples and a suggestion of tropical fruits and citrus layered with honey and spring blossoms. These past few vintages seem drier than earlier examples and this one is fresh, juicy and has hints of saline/savoury notes. A persistent finish has some phenolic grip.
Pair: pate, strong cheeses, spicy dishes and pork dishes.

Tangy, zesty, restrained.
I tasted this vintage blend of Gewurztraminer with Riesling, Pinot Auxerrois, Muscat and Pinot Blanc alongside the 2018 version and this one leaned to honeyed with warm peach and apricot aromas woven with mineral/saline and citrus notes. Tangy and zesty, more restrained and lean than the 2018, it had focus and precision, snappy green apple flavours and a long mouthwatering finish.

Perfumed, concentrated, mouthwatering.
Made from 47% Gewurztraminer with Riesling, Pinot Auxerrois, Pinot Blanc, Muscat and Schoenberger this vintage of A Noble Blend offers fragrant aromas of lychee and rose scented cold cream, crunchy green apples and pink grapefruit with kaffir lime, exotic spice and creamy honey. Sweet Turkish delight, honey soaked fruit and exotic spices dominate the palate; expect wonderful concentration and excellent length. Rich yet mouthwatering.

Fragrant, concentrated, pristine.
Made from Gewurztraminer with Riesling, Pinot Auxerrois and Pinot Blanc new 2016 is as expected, fragrant. Pristine aromas of lychee and peaches, crisp green apples and lemon oil with spring blossoms are grounded with forest floor/compost notes at the core. The palate is a genuine mimic of the nose; tangy and fruity flavours are wonderfully woven across the palate, and it seems to me to be slightly drier than previous vintages, which is appreciated.
Pair: pate, strong cheeses, spicy dishes and pork dishes.

Pretty, zesty, purity.
It's been a few years since tasting this delightfully fragrant blend of Gewurztraminer, Riesling, Pinot Auxerois, Pinot Blanc and Muscat and it doesn't disappoint. Notes of honey and stonefruits, lychee and rose oil, pink grapefruit and spice lead to a slick and off-dry palate. It's wonderfully balanced and has loads of character, purity and exotic flavours. The finish is zesty and mouthwatering.
Pair: pate, strong cheeses, spicy dishes and pork dishes.
