The 2023 Linear Gewürztraminer is an aromatic Australian white showing lychee, rose petal and ripe pear alongside peach, citrus blossom, ginger and subtle spice. Its fragrant character is balanced by fresh acidity and a gentle savoury edge, giving the wine both aromatic intensity and a clean, refreshing profile. Delicate mineral notes add further detail beneath the expressive fruit and floral aromas.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied and finely textured, with lively acidity supporting layers of lychee, white peach, pear and citrus. Rose petal and orange blossom add floral complexity, while subtle ginger, spice and savoury notes develop through the mid-palate. A fine mineral and saline character helps keep the wine focused and balanced, preventing the aromatic fruit from feeling overly heavy. The finish is clean, persistent and refreshing, with lingering floral, stone-fruit and citrus notes.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for Gewürztraminer drinkers who enjoy aromatic whites with floral character, generous fruit and refreshing acidity. It is approachable when young and particularly versatile with fragrant and mildly spicy foods. Best enjoyed over the next 3–5 years. Serve chilled with Thai green curry, Vietnamese lemongrass chicken, chilli and garlic prawns, pork belly with Asian herbs, or soft goat’s cheese with pear and toasted almonds.
