Tasting Notes - Ashton Hills Vineyard "3" 2003 (Recommended)

Brand new wine under the AHV estate label. Roughly equal portions of gewurztraminer, riesling and pinot gris, and, accordingly to Stephen George, inspired by the likes of Trimbach from Alsace. Both nose and palate had an almost old fashion dry white feel - no obvious fruity notes and good length with a dry finish. Quite subtle - a "thinking man's" style perhaps? Seems very early in its development and would be worthy of a repeat visit in 3 years. Whilst it's hard to put a finger on the exact fruit character it nevertheless remains a classy wine.
