Cassegrain Edition Noir Gewurztraminer 2016
A deliciously fruited, marginally sweet, musky and mouthwatering gewrztraminer whose deeply floral and spicy bouquet of lychees, rose water, musk stick and cloves reveals a hint of tangerine. Meaty and quite savoury, itÕs long and stylish, with fresh citrus and lychee, pear and peach flavour extending over a fine chalkiness towards a dry-ish finish of nervy acidity. Drink it within the next couple of years because there’s perhaps a trace of botrytis that might fatten it out.

Cassegrain
Cassegrain has steadily expanded from its original base around Port Macquarie to become an active participant in a number of cooler New South Wales regions, from which it regularly changes the fruit sources of some of its wines, including those featured here. There's a complex and sophisticated, savoury stamp about these wines that stands them apart from the Australian mainstream. Cassegrain's reds tend to lack genuine conviction and ripeness.
