Hunter’s Marlborough Gewürztraminer 750mL

Established by Irishman, the late Ernie Hunter in 1979, Hunter’s is one of New Zealand’s best-known wineries and a recognised pioneer of the Marlborough wine industry. Led by the ‘First Lady’ of New Zealand wine, Jane Hunter, CNZM, OBE, Hunter’s have a reputation for consistently producing the highest quality wines year after year.

Through Jane’s determination, the talent of Chief Winemaker, James Macdonald and the dedication of General Manager Peter Macdonald; Hunter’s classically styled, elegant wines continue to accumulate awards and credibility around the globe. Hunter’s produce a comprehensive range of wines including bottle fermented sparkling wine MiruMiru (Maori for Bubbles), from their Sustainable Wine Growing New Zealand accredited winery and vineyards.

The Gewürztraminer shows classic lychee and ginger characters on the nose. The palate is dry to taste and very focused. We avoid the typical oily varietal characters thanks to the alluvial soils of this vineyard. This wine reward cellaring for the next 10 years.
