2021 Gewurztraminer
Classic Gewurztraminer with intense notes of spice, rose petals, lychee, grapefruit, peach kernel and smoky bacon. Off-dry sweetness and creamy fruit flavors with better than normal acidity providing for a long finish. Full body with deliciousness that makes this a special wine.
Unique harvest technique brings the fruit to the crush pad in three separate harvests. The early pick is to capture the natural acidity, second pick to focus on the fruit driven flavors, the late pick is all about spice and body component. First batch is kicked-off with a commercial yeast while the second and third picks are added to the feremnting tank.
