90 Rating Wine Enthusiast Magazine and Hidden Gem recognition

“Skin contact fermentation and time in neutral oak has created a wine that is a giant neon navel orange the size of Baltimore. It begins with aromas of orange creamsicle, guava and a hint of lavender water. A powerful orange zest flavor is joined by bits of orange cake and wet stones. Brilliant acidity matches up nicely with a bit of tannic structure.”

Our Orange Gewurztraminer has a lovely apricot hue from the peachy-pink color of Gewurztraminer grape skins. Take time to savor the heady bouquet, lychee, honeysuckle and stone fruit. You may expect sweetness, but this wine is bone-dry with zero residual sugar. Orange Gewurztraminer pairs very well with fragrant spiced dishes, sweet and sour flavors, pungent and washed-rind cheeses, even a white pizza.
