"I enjoy working with Gewurztraminer because of its multiple personalities. The clusters vary from bright pink to maroon when ripe, and individual berries can be pea-sized to large marble-sized. It evolves from a sweet gingery juice into a powerful aromatic wine. During fermentation it fills the winery with rose petal and bergamot aromas. While it can be fermented in a dessert wine style most of our production is off-dry to dry.

 The Reserve bottling is a dry wine with a rich creamy mouth feel and subtle aromatics that reinforce the grapefruit flavors. The wine is barrel fermented for 3-4 months in stainless steel barrels and neutral oak barrels. This type of fermentation imparts richness to the wine without picking up any unneeded oak character. Pairing this wine with grilled sausage and caramelized sweet onions is my favorite, also pairs well with turkey, pork, and seafood dishes."
