I always look forward to this aromatic blend from Sumac Ridge - Gewurztraminer, Ehrenfelser, Muscat, Pinot Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay.
Perfumed with peaches, lychee and pineapple, some smoke and flinty tones, banana, vanilla orange peel and rose petals with a touch of Turkish delight. Flavours are smoked spices, vanilla, coconut and a hint of butterscotch, melon and tangerine. Creamy yet fresh with a nice citric balance to brighten it up.
Delicious.

Appealing ripe pears, white floral and golden pineapple aromas with undertones of toffee, roasted nuts, vanilla and sweet oak spices. Rich flavours of grilled pineapple, caramel, hazelnuts tossed with warm spice and vanilla. Fresh, smooth and rounded on the palate but with a crisp, clean finish.
Delicious!

This is a Chardonnay for those of you who love caramel!
Obvious aromas of pineapple and butterscotchy/praline, coconut and vanilla, melon and candied citrus. The palate is sweet, laden with tropical fruit and butterscotch, it's rounded and creamy with warm spices and vanillin oak flavours on the finish.

Ripe upfront plummy aromas, vanilla, earth, chocolate and minty notes. Solid fruit structure on the palate - the chocolate and earth reappear layered in the fruit - with lingering spice and cocoa on the finish with smooth tannins.

Creamy orchard fruit aromas with buttery vanilla, floral - honeysuckle and freesia - and mineral notes. Crisp and citrus-y on the palate with pear, white peach and lemon-vanilla flavours and a clean, zesty finish.
