Kovacs Nimrod Unoaked Chardonnay 2023
Kovács Nimród Unoaked Chardonnay is a vibrant and refreshing expression of cool-climate Hungarian Chardonnay, sourced from vineyards around Noszvaj in the Eger region. Crafted without the influence of oak, this wine focuses on purity, freshness and varietal clarity, highlighting the natural character of the fruit and the region’s distinctive terroir. The result is a crisp, elegant Chardonnay with bright acidity, gentle fruit expression and a clean, mineral-driven finish. Meet the Producer Kovács Nimród Winery is one of Hungary’s most dynamic modern estates, combining international expertise with a deep respect for local terroir. Based in the historic Eger region, the winery has built a reputation for precise, expressive wines that showcase both indigenous and international grape varieties. Under the guidance of winemaker István Polyák, the focus is on balance, finesse and authenticity. Vineyard The grapes are sourced from the Nyilasmár and Nagyfai vineyards near Noszvaj, an area known for its cooler climate and diverse soils. These conditions are particularly well suited to Chardonnay, allowing for slow ripening, retained acidity and refined aromatics that translate into freshness and elegance in the finished wine. Production Following harvest, the grapes are gently crushed and pressed before the juice is settled in tank. Alcoholic fermentation takes place entirely in stainless steel to preserve freshness and purity of fruit. The absence of oak ensures that the wine remains bright, expressive and true to its varietal and vineyard origins. Tasting Notes Fresh and crisp in style, the wine displays subtle stone fruit and lemon aromas. The palate is medium-bodied and well balanced, with lively acidity, clean citrus flavours and a long, elegant finish that reinforces its unoaked, modern character. Food Match An excellent partner for light and delicate dishes such as crab, prawns or grilled fish. It also pairs beautifully with spring vegetable risotto or creamy vegetable
Seifried Nelson Gewürztraminer 2025
Seifried Estate Nelson Gewürztraminer is a gorgeously aromatic New Zealand white that captures everything the variety does best — roses, lychee, tropical fruit, and a succulently spiced palate — with the freshness and balance that Nelson's exceptional terroir consistently delivers. Sourced from two contrasting vineyards, hand-harvested, and carefully vinified to preserve aromatic intensity, this is Gewürztraminer at its most expressive and rewarding. Why You'll Love It Seifried sources grapes from two complementary sites: Brightwater Vineyard, 15km from the coast and sheltered by the Richmond ranges, planted in extremely stony soils that limit vigour and produce intensely flavoured fruit; and Redwood Valley, an unirrigated north-facing clay vineyard with vines aged 10–30 years, optimally exposed for maximum ripeness and aromatic intensity. The result is a wine of exceptional concentration and balance — consistently one of New Zealand's finest expressions of the variety. Vineyard & Production Gewürztraminer grapes are hand-harvested, destemmed, and allowed brief skin contact before pressing. The clear juice undergoes cool, temperature-controlled fermentation with pure yeast, followed by maturation on yeast lees for added texture. The wine is then racked, blended, clarified, stabilised, and bottled to preserve its vibrant aromatic character. Tasting Notes Bright and aromatic on the nose — roses, ginger beer, lychee, mango, pineapple, and pear drop. The palate is succulent and flavoursome, with tangerine, Turkish Delight, and tropical fruit characters, balanced by vibrant acidity and a clean, lingering finish. Classic Nelson Gewürztraminer: rich, fresh, and deeply expressive. Perfect Pairings An ideal aperitif and a natural partner for spiced and aromatic dishes. Excellent with Thai, Vietnamese, and Indian cuisine, lightly spiced poultry, aromatic seafood, and soft cheeses. The wine's natural sweetness and acidity handle gentle heat beautifully.
