Skillogalee Clare Valley Gewürztraminer
An outstanding gewürztraminer and one of Australia’s best, not so much by virtue of its characteristic exuberance (brimming with pure lychee, juicy stonefruit, pulpy grapefruit and notes of mixed spice, fig and honey) but by its minerality. The elevation of one of the highest vineyard sites in the Clare blesses it with what gewürztraminer so often lacks – definition, acidity and minerality. In this frame, a touch of residual sweetness works well.
