TASTING NOTES FOR Delatite Hell’s Window Gewurz Gris Riesling Victoria Australia 2023

🍷 Appearance
Hazy copper-pink/orange hue with a natural, unfiltered look. Bright yet slightly cloudy, reflecting its skin-contact winemaking style.

👃 Aromas
Highly aromatic and exotic, with guava, strawberry and rosehip alongside Turkish delight and floral spice. A lifted, perfumed nose with a playful, almost confectionary edge.

👅 Palate
Juicy and vibrant, showing red berries, watermelon and hints of tropical fruit. There’s a distinctive mix of fruit sweetness and savoury grip, with lively acidity balancing the richness.

🍈 Texture & Finish
Textural and slightly grippy from skin contact, giving structure and mouthfeel. The finish is dry, energetic and refreshing, with lingering spice and fruit intensity.

🍇 Overall Style
A modern “orange” or skin-contact wine—aromatic, textural and naturally made. Co-fermented with wild yeast and minimal intervention, it delivers a vibrant, slightly wild expression that sits somewhere between rosé, white and light red in style.

🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with tapas, charcuterie, grilled vegetables or lightly spiced dishes. Also excellent with BBQ and shared plates where texture and flavour matter.

🥂 BBD Verdict
A seriously interesting, left-field wine—aromatic, textural and full of personality. Ideal for mixed dozens when you want something different that sparks conversation and delivers real drinking enjoyment.
