Winery Review: While not as well known as chardonnay and pinot grigio, it is typically very affordable and pairs well with spicy, flavorful foods. The predominant nose and flavor is lychee—a sweet, tropical fruit. It is higher in alcohol than comparable white wines. Gewürztraminer is like the grown-up version of Moscato. - The Summit Winery
Wine Folly: Page 115 had grapefruit, tangerine, ginger, and rose as some of the top flavors. I could definitely smell the rose and grapefruit. Tangerine makes sense too with the fruity taste, but I couldn't make out the ginger.
My Review: First sparkling wine, and first sweet one. I enjoyed this a lot more than the reds I had tried before. The rose smell and grapefruit and tangerine tastes were very noticeable. Felt like I picked up on some apple as well. Definitely loved having the residual sugar in this drink, which made it much more enjoyable. The strong fruity taste and floral scents were quite enjoyable as well.
