St Michael Eppan – Sanct Valentin 2016 Gewürztraminer from Italy

Love it or hate it! That’s Gewürztraminer, a Marmite wine. For those not from the UK just Google Marmite, it’s a British food that you had when you were a kid and may still have. I absolutely love Marmite, I do have issues with Gewürztraminer though. And this is a problem when reviewing this grape, I thankful rely on my wife to tell me if this is a good example as she really likes this grape. This is deep golden, yellow in colour showing you that there is real concentration of exotic fruit such as pineapple with honey, big hits of flora and sweet nuts both in the aromas and flavours.

We had this with a fish pie and it did mellow the wine and it did complimented the food excellently. It would also go with Asian food and some Indian foods. I couldn’t drink this wine on its own but with food it’s good, I just have an issue with the £30 price tag. This what’s the issue that my wife thought, great wine but overpriced.
