Gewurztraminer
Columbia Gorge AVA
Pear Blossom Vineyard is located in the Underwood Mountain area in the Columbia Gorge AVA. This vineyard is dry-farmed, which is important to us. Not only does it conserve water, it also forces the roots to grow deeper into the soil to reach the water table. As the roots dig down deeper, they go through various soil strata picking up unique flavors along the way, this is what we call "terroir" a sense of place. All vineyard sites have this, but it's up to the vineyard manager to grow the fruit and the winemaker to make the wine that is reflective of this. This Gewürztraminer is just as lovely as the one from Crow Valley, and both are uniquely different.
