Details
This is a slightly dialled-down Gewürz for sure, but it still bears all of the hallmarks of what we love about this grape variety; look out for plenty of coconut and lychee aromas from top to bottom, and there is a lovely floral bitter character alongside a spicy white pepper finish.
Origin: Difficult to say but many believe it is from southwest Germany. Mainly Grown In: France, Austria, Italy, Germany, USA and New Zealand. Key Facts: You don't find too many Gewürztraminer lovers out there in the wine world, but those who drink it tend to be very loyal drinkers of this incredible grape variety. Famed for its highly aromatic profile, Gewürz often brings the fruit salad vibe to the winey party. It’s also a super versatile variety in terms of style and sweetness and as such has earned its rightful place next to Riesling, Pinot Gris and Muscat as one of Alsace’s four ‘Noble’ grape varieties. Capable of making world class bone-dry wine through to lusciously sweet dessert numbers, we reckon there is a special place for Gewürz in every wine lover’s heart. Look out for exotic tropical fruit notes when approaching this grape variety, and lychee, coconut and elderflower presenting themselves as core aromas and flavours. These wines tend to be intense, heady and delicious! Fun Fact: Gewürztraminer means "spiced Traminer” in German.

Pairing guide
We just can’t get enough of this bright and zesty Gewürztraminer from Emiliana, which provides no shortage of refreshing minerality and racy flavours. It’s the ideal match for southeast Asian food of all kinds: fiery tofu broths, chilli noodles, and Vietnamese summer rolls especially, but also Sichuan fish dishes, homemade sushi, and green curries, too. This wine is also fantastic with potato salads, breaded white meats and fish, and crisp green salads, making it a truly versatile and utterly irresistible bottle!

Wine region
Rapel, Chile
The Rapel Valley is a prominent wine region in Chile, located between the Maipo and Colchagua Valleys. It is divided into two subregions, the Cachapoal Valley and the Colchagua Valley, each with singular terroir features. The Cachapoal Valley flexes alluvial soils and warmer climate, while the Colchagua Valley is known for its granite and volcanic soils, as well as its cooler climate. The region produces a variety of red and white wines, with Cabernet Sauvignon and Carménère being the most planted grapes. Did you know, the Rapel Valley is that it is one of the few wine regions in the world where the vines are irrigated using water from melted snow? (from Andes Mountains)
