New Release 2021 Johanneshof Gewurztraminer

22/8/2021

New 2021 Gewurztraminer Release

Chances are you need a little 'Pick me up' after this very turbulent week we had here in New Zealand. And it comes in the form of the first of our 2021 Releases, the very fragrant Johanneshof Marlborough Gewurztraminer 2021!

We must admit we never released it so early in the year, but its growing reputation as one of the iconic wines of New Zealand means we sell out faster every year. That means you have to be quick so you don't miss out. Like previous years the 2020 vintage received Trophies and multiple 5 star ratings and we hope this newbie on the block will get your approval too.

So head to our webshop for more of our liquid gold. And as we know you are following the rules and are staying at home, we will deliver straight to your door, contactless and safe and free of charge for orders of six bottles or more within NZ's two main islands.

To all the essential workers we'd like to say 'Thank you' from the bottom of our hearts. We would love to make your day with a cheeky glass of Johanneshof after a busy day.

New Gewürztraminer Review from Canada

12/4/2020

Comments

We just love this review on our new release Johanneshof Cellars Gewürztraminer 2019 from wine writer Jason Solanki in Toronto

Tasting Note:
JOHANNESHOF CELLARS GEWÜRZTRAMINER 2019
Marlborough, South Island, New Zealand (D) - $31 NZD

Screw cap. This hand-harvested Gewürztraminer has a gorgeous, intense, focused, and very pure nose of lychee, rose floral, lemon citrus, and musky spice aromas. The concentrated, full-ish palate is off-dry with lovely lychee, floral and spice replays with touches of marzipan on the mid-palate. Bracing acids are juicy and keep things nicely balanced. More rose and lychee notes complete the dry finish, with excellent length. Top NZ Gewürztraminer!
Score: 91 points

World Cancer Day

8/2/2016

Comments

At todays 'World Cancer Day' a wee reminder that you can help us support the Cancer Society Marlborough with the purchase of our pink bubbly Johanneshof Cellars Marlborough New Dawn Methode Traditionnelle 2010.

We created our pink sparkling wine New Dawn from 100 % Pinot Noir to support our local Cancer Society. We donate $10 per bottle to honour their tremendous work assisting people affected by cancer in Marlborough. Cancer Societies around New Zealand receive no Government funding and therefore rely solely on the support of all of us.

'Johanneshof Cellars New Dawn' is named after the pale pink rose growing outside our cellar door. New Dawn signifies the new life cancer survivors have been given as they go into survivorship, like a New Dawn.

Johanneshof Cellars Marlborough New Dawn Methode Traditionnelle 2010 is only available from our cellar door and by mail order. Thank you for your support.

Johanneshof Gewürztraminer wins third Trophy in two months

Johanneshof Cellars is celebrating success with it's third Trophy for 'Champion Gewürztraminer' in only two months. At the prestigious Air New Zealand Wine Awards 2015 this weekend Johanneshof Cellars Marlborough Gewürztraminer 2014 was awarded the Top prize for this spicy variety yet again.

This year's competition saw 1,407 wines entered, with 84 Golds awarded. Only three wines of this variety were awarded Gold at this year’s Air New Zealand Wine Awards and Johanneshof Cellars Gewürztraminer 2014 received a very special 'Pure Elite Gold medal' before being awarded the Trophy for 'Champion Gewürztraminer of Show'.

Founders and winemakers at Johanneshof for 25 years, Edel and Warwick are thrilled to have won this Trophy at the Air New Zealand Wine Awards. "To get a 'Pure Elite Gold' medal at this prestigious wine show in New Zealand is great, but to win a Trophy is outstanding! Being the third Trophy for our aromatic variety in two months, this is a nice addition to our Trophy cabinet. We are thrilled to receive such recognition for our work with aromatics in our 25th year at Johanneshof Cellars".

Johanneshof Cellars entered only two wines into the competition and with a Pure Silver Medal for the Johanneshof Cellars Pinot Gris 2015 Edel and Warwick are proud to win three awards between both aromatic wine entries.

"Aromatics in New Zealand, and particularly Marlborough, have come a long way, this is a great endorsement for the Marlborough region, showing it can excell in Aromatics as well as in Methode Traditionnelle and Sauvignon Blanc" enthused.

The winning Gewürztraminer was described by Chair of Judges Michael Brajkovich MW,
"Very rich, ripe and gamey aroma of typical Gewürztraminer, with a hint of Botrytis. Luscious Muscat-like fruit characters on the palate, with mouth-coating sweetness and a well-balanced tannic dry finish.

40 years ago the Air New Zealand Wine Awards was created by New Zealand Winegrowers to encourage and promote excellence in New Zealand winemaking for the benefit of winemakers and consumers .
The Church Road McDonald Series Syrah 2013 won Air New Zealand Champion Wine of the Show Trophy.
The judging panel was led by Michael Brajkovich MW, alongside other judges and two international judges, Ronny Lau from China and Mark Protheroe from Australia.
