Organic wine from New Zealand, a very interesting blend giving great fruity flavours and an appealing spice.  This would go really well with a slightly spicy dish with the fruit and the spice from the Gewurztraminer.   A very good wine, and taking into account the USPs of the blend, its organic credentials, the good length and agreeable taste, it justifies the price.
