2011 Gewurtzraminer-Muscat

The 2011 growing season began four weeks later than normal and cooler than average temperatures resulted in delayed budding and flowering of the vines. With Autumn arriving earlier than expected, grapes were left hanging longer than normal to allow for fruit ripening and flavors development. Harvested on October 28, 2011.

Winemaker's Notes

This wine is bursting with flavors of rose petal and lychee aroma, goose berries, spices and passion fruit in the palate. The wine finishes off dry and crisp with lingering notes of lychee.
