The sublime 2008 Gewurztraminer has a very vibrant bouquet, good definition with subtle notes of honeysuckle, tinned apricot, white peach and a touch of hazelnut. Not blowsy at all - very controlled. Again, the palate is understated, with a lovely sense of balance. Subtle aromatic fruits, apricots, white peach, a touch of lemongrass and ginger with a controlled landing on the finish. A great success, just like the 2007. Michael Seresin's estate in Marlborough continues to go from strength to strength, exploring new techniques to apply biodynamic principles that are zealously pursued. This year, they have some intriguing micro-production Pinot Noirs that reach new heights of quality, if alas not quantity. Various US importers.
