Lots of spicy fruit with orange peel, dried citrus and cloves. It’s full-bodied and very dry with lots of intensity. A little fluid and warm at the end with a punch of alcohol. But a serious gewurz. Drink now.

The 2022 Gewürztraminer Vigna Kolbenhof is dusty, floral and distinctly spicy, showing hints of ginger, cardamom and dried apricot. This is weighty upon entry, with a core of zesty acidity to balance as saline minerals combine with notes of ripe peach and mango. The 2022 leaves the mouth watering for more, tapering off with the slightest tinge of forgivable heat and exceptional length. Just a baby today, the Vigna Kolbenhof will excel through medium-term cellaring.
