WineScores' Review

Minimalist, intense, alive.
This Gewurztraminer is following the current humble trend of orange wines - those made with minimal intervention. It's been put through a natural fermentation and has extended skin contact, which acts as a natural preservative (and colour enhancer).
The colour is peachy-copper and the nose offers apricot jelly, orange creamsicle, figs and desiccated roses, vanilla and star anise with a decent dose of honey. Phenolic textural palate is certainly aided by the additional skin contact, it is juicy and very intense but has a levity and thriving evolving palate. It tastes alive as opposed to many wines of this ilk.
Worth seeking.
Bottle differs from the one pictured.

WineDiva.ca was launched prior to WineScores, in February 2004. WineDiva is the alter ego of Daenna Van Mulligen. She wears a cork tiara and is proof that a girl can have her w(h)ine and drink it too! WineDiva.ca is a tongue-in-cheek approach to a very serious passion for all things wine. WineDiva’s goal is to make wine fun, subtly educational & deviously inspirational. Vintage reciting wine snobs need not apply. WineDiva is painting the wine world pink and drinking it all in, and her glass is always (at least) half-full.

WineScores is the more serious follow up to WineDiva.ca. WineScores was born from the demand to see wine writer Daenna Van Mulligen provide scores on her wine reviews. These are numerical scores based on a 100 point scale – an internationally recognized form of rating wines. These numbers provide a snapshot for consumers on how the wine reviewer views the overall quality of the wine. For more information on scoring wine, go to “about”.

We do not share your email address with anyone. Your email address will be used for the WineDiva newsletter You can opt out of receiving the newsletter anytime.
