Description
Gewurztraminer might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Tasmania, but in Ricky Evans’ hands, it absolutely should be. He’s been quietly perfecting this tiny-batch release for three vintages now, and the results speak for themselves - a wine that’s all about fragrance, freshness, and restraint.
The fruit comes from Waverley Vineyard, a site Ricky has been nurturing since 2015. It’s picked right on the edge of ripeness to lock in acidity, then whole-bunch pressed straight to seasoned barrels, where it ferments and rests for five months on lees. No tricks - just pure, vibrant Gewurz, showing off its floral lift, spice, and a little bit of that trademark tropical charm.
It’s not over-the-top, just supremely drinkable - rose petal, ginger and lychee, with a cool, clean finish that keeps it light on its feet. If you think Gewurztraminer is all perfume and no precision, this will change your mind.
