Van Loveren SLH Gewürztraminer 2025
Gewurztraminer
Description
Van Loveren is a well-established, family-run estate in the Robertson Valley, where vineyards benefit from limestone-rich soils and the moderating influence of the Breede River. These conditions are particularly well suited to aromatic white varieties, allowing for good flavour development while retaining freshness.
The SLH (Single Vineyard / Limited Harvest) range focuses on expressive, fruit-driven wines that highlight varietal character. In the cellar, a clean, controlled approach is used to preserve the natural aromatics of Gewürztraminer, typically through cool fermentation in stainless steel. The aim is to produce a wine that is fragrant, approachable, and true to style, with a gentle balance between sweetness and acidity.
Colour:
Pale straw with a light golden hue.
Nose:
Highly aromatic, with pronounced notes of lychee, rose petal, and Turkish delight. Hints of spice, ginger, and ripe stone fruit add depth.
Palate:
Off dry with a soft, rounded texture. Flavours of litchi, peach, and citrus are supported by a gentle sweetness, balanced by enough acidity to keep the wine from feeling heavy. The mouthfeel is smooth and slightly viscous, typical of the varietal.
Finish:
Lingering and fragrant, with notes of rosewater, spice, and a subtle sweetness.

- Food Pairing : Van Loveren SLH Gewürztraminer 2025 pairs particularly well with dishes that carry a touch of spice or sweetness. It’s an excellent match for Cape Malay curries, Thai-style dishes, or mildly spiced chicken, where the wine’s residual sugar softens heat while its aromatics enhance the flavours. It also works well with pork dishes, especially those with a fruity element, and pairs nicely with soft cheeses. For something lighter, try it with fragrant salads or Asian-inspired dishes where balance and aromatics are key.
