Surprising Huntington Estate Mudgee Gewurztraminer 2015

Huntington Estate Mudgee Gewurztraminer 2015

Now this is a surprise packet. I’ve got a massive soft spot for Gewurtz, but this Huntington Estate is good.

Concentrated and varietal, the nose a riot of lychee fruit, before a strongly phenolic and long palate. Lots of power and concentration here – a real surprise packet, with driving acidity to carry things along. Some anti-Gewurtz people may well try this and look at me like I’m a crazy person, but I was impressed. Well priced too. Best drinking: 2016-2019. 17.7/20, 92/100. 11.8%, $22. Would I buy it? Sure would.

  • About me – Andrew Graham


    At 18 I started working in a small suburban bottleshop, largely to buy cheap beer. It was my first year of university, slogging through physics and chemistry, and a liquor shop seemed like fun. Needless to say I discovered wine, my uni degree morphed into something completely different and wine/beer took over my life.

    Twenty years later and I currently spend my days wearing many (wine) hats, mostly as a writer, presenter and marketer.

    While wearing my writer cap I write features for the likes of National Liquor News, Gourmet Traveller WINE and the RAS plus I'm a Lifestyle FOOD channel wine expert. Read more about me here or get in touch to book your next wine event with me here.
