Notes

This year’s Gewurztraminer presents itself as a fun and unique wine built around its floral aromas and notes of spice on the mouth. Medium in body, the 2020 vintage of Gewurztraminer is best enjoyed in its youth when acidity is at its highest. This year’s vintage was processed differently than previous, with a 24-hour cold soak before fermentation to provide a cleaner finish and fermentation was halted to provide the correct amount of sugar to balance the acidity nicely. Strong notes of ginger and tangerine are present upon first sip. The winemaking crew recommends enjoying this wine with a nice chunk of stinky Munster cheese as the flavors and aromas pair interestingly well or with pumpkin gnocchi as the touch of sweetness from both are a match made in heaven.
