Fine Wine Delivery has secured an exclusive final parcel of Vinoptima Grand Cru Ormond Jubilee 2011 Gewürztraminer — one of New Zealand’s most prestigious and sought-after white wines.
Perfectly cellared and now at its peak, this release represents the last opportunity to secure this iconic wine before it disappears completely. Crafted by renowned winemaker Nick Nobilo Jnr, Vinoptima has built a legacy of producing luxurious Gewürztraminer of remarkable depth and character. The 2011 vintage is particularly distinctive. Unlike the earlier 2008, 2009 and 2010 releases, it benefited from an impeccable, slow-ripening season, allowing the grapes to hang longer on the vine and develop greater concentration and richness.

The result is a more opulent, late-harvest style — off-dry and beautifully poised. In the glass, it reveals a deep golden hue with toffee reflections, a visual cue to both its age and its luxurious nature. On the palate, it is luscious and expressive, with a gentle sweetness that carries through to a long, elegant finish, lifted and refined by perfectly balanced acidity. Now 15 years on, the wine sits at its peak, deeply coloured, richly textured and full-bodied, offering a truly indulgent drinking experience.
Fine Wine Delivery has already introduced tens of thousands of bottles from previous vintages to New Zealand wine lovers. This 2011 release represents the final opportunity to secure this iconic label, once gone, this wine won't be available again. Remarkably, this exceptional wine is being offered at just $16.99 per bottle — an extraordinary opportunity for a wine of this pedigree, provenance and maturity.

Versatile, it pairs beautifully with rich pâtés, aged cheeses and fragrant Asian cuisine, though equally, it invites quiet appreciation when enjoyed on its own.
The response so far has been exceptional, with over 47 customer reviews averaging 4.5 stars, a testament to the wine’s enduring appeal and the rarity of this final release.
For those who appreciate fine wine or simply recognise a truly special opportunity when it appears, this isn't one to miss!
And once it arrives, try the below pairings:
Mushroom and Thyme Pâté
Pomegranate-roasted Grape and Blue Cheese Bruschetta with Salted Caramel Walnuts
Spicy Kimchi and Gochujang Udon Noodles
