Alexander Valley Vineyards Gewurz 2021

Alexander Valley Vineyards
Fanciful Name: Gewurz
Varietal: Gewurztraminer
Vintage: 2021
Country of Origin: United States
Appellation: Mendocino County
Retail Price: $16.99

Tasting Notes: Sourced from a single vineyard that has been certified organic takes winemaking to the next level. Fruit was harvested at night, maintaining great acidity and aromatics, then cold fermented in stainless steel. The end result is a delightful wine in the drier style, with great minerality, and a hint of spice. Perfect for that spring picnic with cold chicken and fresh fruit. Wonderful alternative to chardonnay, or the first-time white wine drinker

Tasting Notes: And now for something completely different. With fruit sourced from a small organic vineyard, winemaker Kevin Hall of Mendocino crafts a uniquely Californian interpretation of this overlooked varietal. Rich apricot flavors meld with hints of spice and minerality. The sleeper food pairing for this is the classic holiday turkey.
