2019 Dry Gewürztraminer

This vintage is a knock-out! This wine is light golden in color and is incredibly complex and boastful. Aromas abound- lychee fruit, grapefruit, orange, wet stone, fresh ginger, lemongrass, cinnamon, and a faint floral/rose petal are all enticingly present. The palate is rich and expanding with flavors of tangerine, pear, minerals, a hint of allspice. It lingers with flavors of citrus and pepper. Serve with kielbasa and brown mustard, carnitas tacos, stewed curried lamb and Kung Pao chicken. Enjoy this wine now through 2025.
