A special kind of fusion

A rare and skilful marriage of two fundamentally different yet very aromatic grape varieties (60% Gewürztraminer and 40% Riesling). The red slate soils and the proximity to Lake Ontario produce a delicately scented, accessible white wine that harmonises wonderfully with Asian dishes, whether salty, hot and spicy or sweet and sour.

 

And this is what the Gewürztraminer Riesling from Pillitteri tastes like

This vintage of Gewürztraminer Riesling is a classic cool-climate wine with aromas of green apple, lychee, pink grapefruit and rose petals. The palate reflects the flavours with honey, ripe peach, tangerine and subtle undertones of honeydew melon. The integration of acidity and residual sugar ensures a balanced, semi-dry flavour that can be paired with a variety of dishes.

2022 Pillitteri Gewürztraminer Riesling

 

And the Gewürztraminer Riesling from Pillitteri goes well with it

The Pillitteri Gewürztraminer-Riesling blend from Canada combines the aromatic intensity of Gewürztraminer with the crisp acidity of Riesling, resulting in a versatile and often seductively fragrant wine.
Thanks to its variety of flavours, it goes well with a wide range of dishes:

Asian cuisine:

  • Thai curries: light green or aromatic red curries with coconut milk can bring out the tropical fruit notes of the Canadian white wine.
  • Sushi and sashimi: The fresh and subtle flavours of sushi harmonise well with the citrus freshness and aromatic depth of this Canadian wine.
  • Vietnamese dishes: Dishes such as pho or fresh summer rolls with a variety of herbs pair wonderfully with the floral and citrusy notes of the white wine from Canada.

European classics:

  • Alsatian tarte flambée: The traditional tarte flambée with bacon, onions and crème fraîche can emphasise the spicy notes of Gewürztraminer in the wine.
  • German and Austrian dishes: Classic dishes such as Wiener Schnitzel or roast pork with sauerkraut, which are rich and have an acidic component, go well with the balance and flavours of Pillitteri wine.

Indian cuisine:

  • Chicken Tikka Masala: The creamy, spicy sauce of this dish can complement the aromatic complexity of the wine.
  • Various chutneys and pickles: The combination of sweet, sour and spicy in these side dishes can harmonise beautifully with the aromatic profile of the Canadian wine.

Middle Eastern dishes:

  • Stuffed vine leaves (dolma): The combination of rice, herbs and lemon in the vine leaves goes well with the fresh and floral aspects of the wine.
  • Falafel with tahini sauce: The herb-rich, deep-fried balls together with the creamy, slightly bitter tahini sauce can be an interesting addition to the wine spectrum.

Cheese and desserts:

  • Strong cheeses such as Munster or Gorgonzola: these cheeses with strong flavours can compete well with the intense bouquet of wine from Canada.
  • Fruit-based desserts: Dishes such as apricot tart or tarte tatin with their natural sweetness and acidity can complement the fruity elements of the wine.
The variety of flavours of Pillitteri Gewürztraminer Riesling make these dishes excellent accompaniments, highlighting both the aromatic complexity and textural balance of the wine and creating a multi-layered taste experience.
