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
Peach, apricot and mineral on the nose follow through to a full-bodied palate, with crisp acidity and a long, subtle, very spicy finish. Balanced and rich.
