The 2022 Chaffey Bros Blühen Punkt Gewürztraminer is a highly aromatic, small-batch white from Eden Valley, South Australia, crafted from a single vineyard in Moculta. Produced only in standout vintages and made with minimal intervention—including 24 hours of skin contact and no fining or filtration—it reflects a modern, textural and expressive take on Gewürztraminer, balancing exotic richness with precision and freshness.
The nose is intensely perfumed and exotic, bursting with rosewater, lychee and musk, layered with notes of Turkish delight, frangipani and citrus blossom. More complex hints of ginger, spice, marzipan and crushed stone add depth, creating a vibrant and inviting aromatic profile that is both floral and spicy.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a silky, textural mouthfeel and impressive clarity. Flavours of candied ginger, citrus, nectarine and spice are supported by fresh acidity, giving the wine lift and balance. Despite its aromatic richness, it finishes dry and precise, with a lingering floral and slightly mineral edge. The style walks the line between opulence and restraint, making it both distinctive and highly drinkable.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is one of the most exciting modern Gewürztraminers—aromatic, textural and far more refined than traditional heavy styles. It’s perfect for customers who enjoy expressive whites like Riesling or Pinot Gris but want something more exotic and unique. This is not a sweet wine—it’s dry, complex and full of personality. Best enjoyed now or over the next 3–5 years. Perfect with Asian cuisine, spicy dishes, pork, or as a standout aperitif.
