Treat Mum to a truly memorable afternoon—she deserves it.

This month, 50 Bistro at The George invites you to savour an exquisite vintage: the 2013 Johanneshof Gewürztraminer.

Aged to perfection, this remarkable wine offers a rare opportunity to experience the evolution of a classic varietal.

Aged Elegance, Aromatic Depth

Over time, the 2013 Johanneshof Gewürztraminer has developed extraordinary complexity. Its signature rose petal aroma has deepened into layered floral notes, accented with hints of dried flowers and delicate honeyed nuances. The once-vibrant lychee and ginger spice have matured into a richer, more concentrated expression, with whispers of candied fruit. Subtle earthy undertones now weave through the palate, lending refined minerality and intrigue.

On the palate, this aged Gewürztraminer is both luxurious and balanced, its silky texture unfolding in harmonious layers of fruit, spice, and floral depth. A lingering finish showcases its exceptional structure, a true testament to time’s artistry.

Indulge in a glass of this rare vintage for $16.50, or elevate your experience with a bottle for $84. Our knowledgeable team at 50 Bistro is delighted to guide you through this exceptional wine, ensuring an unforgettable dining moment.

Don’t miss this chance to enjoy a true vintage treasure.
