Lillypilly 2007 Tramillon®
[wine list] |
 |
Region : Leeton Australia
Alcohol : 13.0%, 750ml
Variety : Taminer & Semillon
Sold in :
Australia,
UK
Notes :Medium-dry white wine, made from
traminer and semillon grapes. Pale yellow colour with
green tinge; lychee, floral and spicy; delicate with a
lively finish.
At the 1983 Royal Sydney Wine Show, Lillypilly Estate
made a resounding debut on the Australian wine scene
when one of its first wines, 1982 Tramillon®,
won a gold medal and the trophy for Best NSW White Wine.
This unique blend, which brings together two of the
world's great white grape varieties — gewürztraminer and
semillon has become one of Lillypilly Estate's hallmark
wines. Gewurztraminer has its home in Alsace and makes
wines that are extremely spicy, fragrant and seductive.
It is an extremely versatile grape variety which can be
used to make both luscious, sweet botrytised wines and
crisp, fresh dry whites. Lillypilly Estate's Tramillon®
combines the fragrance of gewürztraminer with the
full-bodied freshness of semillon to provide an
immensely satisfying slightly sweet white wine.

PREVIOUS VINTAGE REVIEWS
Lillypilly Estate 2005 Tramillon ...
Lillypilly's Robert Fiumara is a thoughtful winemaker who
explores many different wine styles in his winery with great
success. Tramillon is a tram iner-sem il Ion blend made into
a slightly sweet wine of juicy gluggability.
CURRENT RELEASE 2005: The traminer component definitely
leads the way here, imparting exotic lychee and Turkish
delight aromas of seductive perfume. It's sweetish in
the mouth with spicy traminer flavours of attractive
intensity, but the sweetness doesn't quite reach a
cloying level. It finishes soft in acidity yet clean and
appetising. It might work with sweet and sour Chinese
dishes.

Best-value sweet white
Writing in his popular guide, Don't Buy
Wine Without Me 2007, Stuart Gregor has
selected the Lillypilly 2002 Noble Sauvignon
Blanc as his best-value sweet white for the
year. "This is one of the most delicious
sweet wines I've tasted in years. And I like
the fact that it's made from sauvignon blanc,
it just seems to give the wine that extra
little tang that cranks up the yum factor
another notch. Always have a bottle
of this in the fridge.
FULL REVIEW
Stuart also had some nice things to say
about the Lillypilly 2005 Tramillon: "This
is a wine that offers nice aromatics and
some fruity sweetness, and it's a pretty
good bet to accompany Indian food.

WINE:
The 2005 Tramillon is a mixture of semillon/traminer.
A very perfumed nose ensues. The palate is
richly flavoured with fruit intensity together
with a clean acid finish for longevity. Jim

THE GOOD LIFE:
The arrival of a new Lillypilly vintage is
always a welcome event, and the 2005 release of
a Chardonnay, Tramillon and Red Velvet has not
disappointed.

DELIGHTFUL INDIVIDUALITY: Lillypilly 2005
Tramillon ...
The 2005 Tramillon is a great partner on the
table with Indian food, its perfumed bouquet,
fruitiness, slight sweetness and crisp finish
making it an ideal match for this and other
Asian dishes.

AUTUMN FLAVOURS: Lillypilly 2005 Tramillon ...
Its perfume, fruitiness, slight sweetness and
crisp finish are a perfect match for many spicy
Asian dishes, though the wine has much broader
food compatibility as well.

Lillypilly 2005 Tramillon ...
Two often much maligned grape varieties now
united together in vinous matrimony pulled
together to delight the olfactory senses and
palate alike. Think rose petal, musk and lychee
aromas, a very light spritz character, all
delicate and fragrantly fruit on the nose.
Lovely fresh accompanying acidity that offsets
the fruit sweetness. Gorgeously light on the
palate and delivered with a remarkable
refreshing burst of fruity flavours. A good wine
at around $12. Goes very well with Indian
cuisine so try with pan fried green prawn
cutlets with dry chillies, garlic, ginger and
curry leave spices.

Lillypilly Estate
Tramillon
Tramillon is the
creation of Lillypilly's Robert Fiumara,
combining traminer and semillon into a sweetish
white that harks back in style to the popular
'moselle' of Australian wine history ...
Aromatic, spicy traminer aromas head the bill
with this sweetish white.

RECOMMENDED:
Lillypilly Estate Tramillon
A delicious blend
of gewürztraminer and semillon, this spicy,
fruit-driven and slightly sweet wine is great on
its own and food-friendly as well.
