Unico Zelo
Pollen Gewürztraminer
"By far and away our favourite thing about thing about Gewürztraminer, aside from its captivating aromatics and utterly unique flavour profile, is its ability to pair with some of our favourite foods to eat. If there is anything on your plate that's bursting with herbs, spice, and that beautiful balance of sweet, salt, and acid that is emblematic of great Thai, Vietnamese, and the litany of incredible regional cuisines of Southeast Asia, you should be drinking Pollen. Don't expect any sweetness here, it's bone dry, and due to some slight early picking, a touch of refreshing acidity, bursting with potpourri, ginger and kaffir lime aromatics, a gorgeous chalky texture, riddled with golden apples, white peach and pineapple. Perfectly paired with plastic chairs in a bustling alley, armed with chopsticks and lotus soup spoons."
