2015 Umathum Gelber & Roter Traminer, Austria, Burgenland, Wine Review

This is a biodynamic blend of 50% Gelber Traminer, 50% Roter Traminer from Austria. Golden in color, clear and bright. The nose has grapefruit, slight lime and a bit of honey. Medium bodied. On the palate, this is crisp but has a slight sweetness that works well together. Some citrus, too. Nice finish. There is a lot of concentration and depth to this. Drinking well at age 7, it probably should be drunk in the next three to five years. It would work well with spicy Thai or Chinese food.

Another interesting wine that one does not see very often. Silvery/gold in color, clear and bright. The nose has a classic scent of lychee nuts. Medium bodied. Slightly viscous texture. Dry. On the palate, some lychees along with a nice minerality. Long finish. This drinks nicely now on its own and would work well with Indian cuisine. Drink over the next five to eight years.

Very nice take on the Gewurztraminer grape. This is certified Biodynamic from relatively young vines (under 15 years old). Light golden in color, clear and bright. The nose is nice but does not have the Lychee Nut that I associate with the grape. More of a floral quality to it, with minerality and slight ginger note. Medium bodied. Semi-sweet on the palate. This is very enjoyable to drink. It drinks quite easy with lots of round notes. It drinks well on its own but will work better with food. This would work well with roasted duck or chicken. Drink over the next few years.
