Fetzer Vineyards Fetzer Gewurztraminer

Our Shaly Loam Gewrztraminer is crafted in an off-dry style, offering a subtle sweetness balanced by crisp acidity and vibrant varietal character. The nose delivers exotic layers of melon, peach and apricot preserves, rosewater, candied ginger and a touch of warm cinnamon spice. On the palate, a delicate sweetness offsets richly nuanced notes of peach cobbler and pineapple upside-down cake, a medley framed by subtle savory notes of cashew nuts and pastry.

Tasting Notes

GEWRZTRAMINERWINEMAKING NOTESVineyards along Californias coast dial up the layered aromas in our intriguing Gewrztraminer. The 2019 vintage brought cooler temperatures, lengthening the growing season and giving the fruit plenty of time on the vine to develop bright acidity and complex flavors. Fragrant grapes from cooler regions, including Monterey County, were pressed as whole berries, then slowly fermented at cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks. The notable absence of oak makes this wine exceedingly fresh, while partial lees contact during aging lends an unmistakable richness to the mouthfeel. TASTING NOTESCrafted in an off-dry style, our Gewrztraminer balances subtle sweetness with crisp acidity and vibrant varietal character. An exotic swirl of rose petal, honeysuckle, peach and mango entices the nose, leading to a richly nuanced palate of honeyed apricot, peach cobbler, cashew nuts and pastry. No surprise: this aromatic white hits the mark with spicy foods and sipping on its own alike.Margaret Leonardi MARGARET LEONARDI | WinemakerTOTAL ACIDITY: 0.62 G/100mLRESIDUAL SUGAR: 2.80 G/100mLAPPELLATION: CALIFORNIAPH: 3.16ALCOHOL: 12.0%
