Wine Description

This Gewürztraminer has been produced by the winery since its inception in the early 20th century. Today the grapes are sourced from vineyards in Montagna and Termeno, the ancestral home of the Gewürztraminer grape. Vinified in stainless steel, malolactic fermentation is carried out to add richness and body to the wine.

Acclaim
[A]n intense nose, offering smoky bacon rind, lavender, aromatic honey and dried citrus fruits. Full and oily on the palate, almost off-dry, with a dense mélange of flavors that even out into dried pineapple, lemon and golden syrup on the long finish. An exciting white.
— Wine Spectator, May 2009
Aromas of apricot tart and light toffee follow through to a full body, with loads of fruit and an oily finish. A big, rich Gewürztraminer. Drink now.
