Tinhorn Creek 2012 Gewürztraminer

by Treve Ring | Feb 19, 2014

2014 marks the 20^th vintage for Tinhorn Creek, a rare milestone in BC’s wine history. Winemaker/CEO Sandra Oldfield is leading a full schedule of 20 events this year to commemorate and celebrate the anniversary—from wine dinners to outdoor concerts at the Southern Okanagan’s stunning winery.

From Oliver’s famed Golden Mile, the 2012 Gewürztraminer is mostly 16-year-old vines (that’s old for the Okanagan) and full of soft rose perfume, fragrant lemon blossom and ripe gooseberry. Moderate acidity and medium body keep it food friendly, with lingering peach and ginger spiciness to lead through the finish.
