Cono Sur Gewurztraminer 2009

If you like Gewurztraminer, or have been meaning to try it, then you won't get a better deal that this. Available for just over £5 (or £4.97 online), this is a great example of this variety. No notes to share really, except to say it impressed the (sometimes fussy) female drinkers, which is good enough for me.

  2. In Norway? I wouldn't know I guess, but I've had French Gewurztraminer almost twice this price that wasn't any better, so the answer is probably 'yes'..:-)

  4. Wife and I shared one of these tonight - yes, a 3, but it was more bitter/acidic than I was expecting and lacking the more complex floral quality of an Alsace wine.

    I also bought some of the other Waitrose wines you've given a 3 - Vidal Syrah, Felsner Moosburgerin and the Brown Brothers Tarrango, which I wouldn't have picked up if I'd remembered it's to be drunk chilled...
