Nichol Vineyard Gewürztraminer

2008 Vintage
Tasted: August 2010

The Nichol Gewürztraminer is a little different than the other ones on the Naramata Bench. This particular vintage shows some good acid and notes of melon — particularly honeydew. It’s nice and tart, but not too sweet and is a nice Gewürtz if you’re more into dryer more acidic wines.

I’d pair it up with Indian food like curries, or even a vegetarian meal. The melon undertones oddly compliment garlic, but in a nice way of course. If you’re a Gewürtz fan definitely give it a taste.
