Gewurztraminer
|
 |
|
The
Gewurztraminer displays
a
refreshing,
medium-bodied
fullness
that
immediately
sets it
apart.
Flavors
of
grapefruit,
rose,
and
mandarin
orange create a
generous
palate
that,
despite
its
layered
complexity,
is very
easy to
enjoy.
Elegantly
balanced,
this
Gewurztraminer
has the
power to
transform
everyday
events
into
memorable
occasions
or to
reawaken
a
delight
in fresh
and
simple
cooking. |

For Gewurztraminer, there is no better way of extracting character and flavor than a gentle press, so the harvest was gently de-stemmed as soon as it reached the winery. The must was then allowed to remain in contact with the grapes for a brief period, a technique winemaker's refer to as cold settling. If managed properly, cold settling can infuse the vintage with the additional layers of flavor and freshness contained within the skins. A basket press gently squeezes the grapes without too much crushing and grinding of the skins, a factor that can overwhelm flavor with excess tannin. |
