Stargazer Tupelo Gentil 2023 (750ml) *

Borrowing a term from Alsace, "Gentil" signals a blend of aromatic white grapes bottled together rather than a single variety, and here it comes from the cool maritime reaches of Tasmania, where whites hold onto their acidity and perfume. This is Stargazer's 2023 Tupelo, an Alsatian-inspired field blend meant to show floral lift and freshness rather than weight. Cool-climate Tasmanian whites tend to be precise and aromatic, and a Gentil-style blend leans into that, layering the spice and texture of grapes like Gewürztraminer and Pinot Gris against the cut of Riesling.
