The 2025 Havilah Gewürztraminer is an intensely aromatic and beautifully vibrant expression of Gewürztraminer, crafted in a fresh, modern style that emphasises perfume, texture and balance. Made with a gentle minimal-intervention approach, the wine captures the variety’s exotic character while maintaining impressive freshness and drinkability. The nose is highly expressive with lychee, rose petal and ripe pear layered alongside Turkish delight, ginger spice, citrus blossom and delicate exotic fruits. There’s a lifted floral perfume and subtle spice complexity that gives the wine immediate charm and personality.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with soft texture, bright acidity and beautifully pure fruit. Lush tropical and orchard fruit flavours are balanced by refreshing citrus lift, gentle spice and a clean, lightly savoury finish. Richly aromatic yet finely balanced, the wine feels vibrant and refreshing rather than overly opulent.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2025 Havilah Gewürztraminer is a wonderfully expressive and approachable aromatic white — floral, exotic and beautifully balanced with refreshing acidity. Perfect with spicy Asian dishes, Thai curries, Vietnamese cuisine, soft cheeses or lightly spiced seafood dishes. Enjoy now through 2030+.
