Yum..another wine discovery

Recently I tried a South African Gewurtztraminer. I talked briefly about a French version I had tried earlier and discussed that it was difficult to get past the smell of old man cologne. Well, it definately still had the same smell, just not as strong. However, it was surprisingly a lot sweeter than the French version and easier to drink. I was expecting a very acidic wine seeing as South Africa is known for its acidic wine. But the sweetness was a very welcoming characteristic. Still not as sweet as the Washington Gewurtz. I tried recently at a tasting, but definately middle of the road. It's amazing how the same grape variety is translated in so many different ways!!
