Made in a rich, unctuous style, the 2018 Envoy Gewurztraminer Johnson Vineyard weighs in at 15.5% alcohol and 60 grams per liter residual sugar. It's full-bodied and viscous, blessed with rose and lychee notes and a long, sweet finish. This would be great alongside an aged Stilton, Bleu d'Auvergne or other characterful blue cheese.

The peach and tropical-fruit-level ripeness of the 2016 Envoy Gewurztraminer Johnson Vineyard mutes a bit of the variety's typical spice but makes up for it with luscious, sweet fruit. It's full in the mouth and undeniably sweet but not cloying.

Scented of honeydew melon, lychees, Turkish delight and lavender, the medium to full-bodied 2015 Envoy Johnson Vineyard Gewurztraminer is opulent, medium-sweet and oily textured, finishing with lingering perfumed tropical fruit and spice notes.

The 2013 Envoy Johnson Vineyard Gewurztraminer has a very pretty nose of rose water, musk melon, lychees and pink guava with a hint of nutmeg. Medium sweet in style with plenty of weight and an oily texture, it finishes long and perfumed.

Vinous offering. Big showy nose, leading onto a more restrained but textured palate, with notes of rose water, strawberry, floral touches, and spicy, dried red fruits. Lovely and long. 14.5% abv
