GEWURZTRAMINER

WINEMAKING NOTES

Vineyards along California’s coast dial up the layered aromas in our intriguing Gewürztraminer. The 2019 vintage brought cooler temperatures, lengthening the growing season and giving the fruit plenty of time on the vine to develop bright acidity and complex flavors. Fragrant grapes from cooler regions, including Monterey County, were pressed as whole berries, then slowly fermented at cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks. The notable absence of oak makes this wine exceedingly fresh, while partial lees contact during aging lends an unmistakable richness to the mouthfeel.

TASTING NOTES

Crafted in an off-dry style, our Gewürztraminer balances subtle sweetness with crisp acidity and vibrant varietal character. An exotic swirl of rose petal, honeysuckle, peach and mango entices the nose, leading to a richly nuanced palate of honeyed apricot, peach cobbler, cashew nuts and pastry. No surprise: this aromatic white hits the mark with spicy foods and sipping on its own alike.
