Scallop - Gewürztraminer Love ‘O’ Love
Tasting Notes - This particular Gewürztraminer imbues aromatic layers of lychee, rose petals and alluring spices that intrigue the nose. On the tongue, it softly embraces with charming floral notes, a touch of sweetness and a distinctive spicy undertone. Its finish is crisp with balanced acidity. This is a splendidly off-dry wine, most noted for its floral aromatics and exotic flavours.
