Eden Valley Whites › Joseph Hill Gewürztraminer
20 February 2010, Tony Love, Adelaide Advertiser
The name of this wine breaks in two: "gewurz", referring to a spicy character that the traminer grape exhibits, so relate this to the fish cake with a pile of aromatic ingredients like coriander, basil and ginger and you find a bright and shiny mirror at the table, fragrant, a little lime fruit flavour and tartness, as well as a waft of rose perfume and yep, a touch of ginger spice. No, it's not a pop hit in disguise but an appealing exotic star.
Fast fact: Named after Joseph Hill Thyer who grew the first vines on this Eden Valley property.
