The Vineyard
This Gewürztraminer was produced from fruit grown on the western side of Dry Creek Valley, 200 feet above the valley floor. This appellation has a diversity of microclimates and soil variations, which enable it to accommodate many different grape varietals. Gewürztraminer ripens beautifully in the warm, sunny days and cool, foggy mornings and nights
Winemaking
This dry white wine is crafted in Gewürztraminer's classic Alsatian style, The grapes are hand harvested, destemmed then lightly crushed. The grapes are allowed skin contact for six hours, then pressed to stainless steel tanks for fermentation. Wine is fermented at 50°F, then racked once fermentation is complete. In order to retain its natural, fresh, crisp acidity, this wine does not undergo malolactic fermentation.
