NEW RELEASE September 2025

“... a benchmark for the variety. This must surely be one of the country's most decorated gewürztraminers”
Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review

Released in September 2025 the Johanneshof Gewürztraminer 2025 displays a straw colour. The floral bouquet of rose petals and violets is underpinned with aromas of white stone fruit. Extremely powerful on the nose and palate, it features a weighty mouth feel and stunning tropical fruit characters. Nuances of peaches and mangos grace the palate with gorgeously floral tones of roses and Turkish delight. 

Beautifully textured and well balanced with some natural sweetness. This unctuous wine seduces with its elegance and power. It’s well deserving of its name – this German variety ‘Gewürztraminer’ translates to ‘Spicy Traminer”- its spicyness most notable in its smooth, lingering finish.

This makes it the perfect accompaniment to Asian cuisine, hearty dishes, or your favourite cheese board.
