Tamburlaine Point 65 Gewürztraminer 2024: Tasting Notes

WINE STYLE → Rosewater & spice

This is Gewürztraminer in its freshest, most drinkable gear: all perfume up front, then a crisp, dry palate that keeps you coming back for another sip. Think rose petal, musk and kaffir lime, with fresh lychee and orange blossom in the mix. It’s crunchy, refreshing and quietly “dangerous” in the best way—especially once spicy food hits the table.

Taste Profile

Tasting Notes

Aromas of rose petal, musk and kaffir lime lead into floral potpourri, orange blossom and fresh lychee. The palate is crunchy and refreshing, finishing dry and clean with mouth-watering, salivating acidity.

Winemaking

Made in a bright, aromatic style that keeps the wine lively and clean—perfume up top, then a dry, refreshing finish. Tamburlaine notes 2024 as a classic Orange growing season—warm and dry with balanced vine canopies, helping flavour build while retaining that zesty line.

Vineyard & Vintage

From Orange, NSW—high altitude, cool climate and volcanic soils that naturally suit fragrant whites. The “Point 65” name nods to the 0.65°C drop for every 100 metres of elevation, a neat little detail that shows up as freshness in the glass.

Why We Love It

Because it delivers all the Gewürztraminer aromatics you crave—rose, musk, Turkish delight vibes—without slipping into sweetness. It’s bright, dry and genuinely food-friendly, especially with chilli, lime and herbs.

Food Pairing

Fragrant and crunchy in a dry style—built for spice, ginger, lime and fresh herbs. It also works a treat with creamy cheeses and anything with a sweet-savoury edge. Try matching this wine with →

Spicy dinner night, but you still want something pretty (and refreshing) in the glass.

Cellaring

Drink now for maximum perfume and crunch. It will hold nicely for 1–3 years, but the real charm is that fresh, floral lift—so don’t overthink it.
