| TASTING NOTE: This wine is named for the phoenix, the mythical bird that dies in flames and is reborn from the ashes, because the Gewürztraminer vines that were believed to have been killed by winter burn unexpectedly sprang back to life to produce a grape crop. The 2017 vintage is borderline off-dry with exotic aromas and flavours of rosewater, lychee, grated parsnip and candied ginger. Pair it with summer salads, parsnip chips, or barbecued chicken or pork. (Vintages panel, May 2018) |
