This was my first experience with a straight Gewürztraminer, relatively few are available on the market and you are far more likely to find a Traminer/Riesling blend at your local bottle shop. If the Delatite Dead Man’s Hill is anything to go by, I will certainly be seeking out this varitey further.

No detailed tasting notes to be had, since the bottle was shared with friends at a thai restaurant, however the nose was certainly floral and the palate had a nice balance of a little fruit up front and floral tastes on the finish. Nice acidity kept the subtle sweetness in balance through to a dry finish, excellent with spicy thai. For more detailed tasting notes, try the Delatite website.

If you are looking for something a little different from the usual suspects of Chardonnay or Riesling, this would be a great place to start.

Score: No score today, the wine was simply enjoyed with no analysis.
Would I buy this wine again?
Definitely. The cellar door price is $20, however Dan Murphy’s has it available for $15, which seems like great value to me.
