This is a gorgeous gewürz; one of the best in Niagara, with a fabulous, exotic nose of lychee, apricot, cumin and fennel. This low-acid grape can make heavy wines, but Piccoli has brought some delicacy by finding a seamless balance between the alcohol and fruit. The finish blossoms with orange, lychee and pepper, and
powers to outstanding length. Winery only.
