2022 Gewürztraminer

Special Notes About the Region/Varietal

Located within the Yakima Valley AVA wine region, the vineyards benefit from a combination of warm days and cool nights, fostering optimal ripeness while preserving natural acidity. The unique soil composition and climate of Yakima Valley contribute to the wine’s distinct floral characteristics. Our meticulous approach ensures that this Gewürztraminer wine captures the essence of its varietal, offering a true reflection of the terroir and a homage to the classic Alsatian style. Gewurztraminer, Roter Traminer, Savagnin Blanc, Traminer Musqué, and Traminer Aromatico hail from the same Traminer aromatic grape family and share many of the same characteristics. Some of the sister varietals can highlight more fruit components like passion fruit, other tropical fruit and some even have notes of actual ginger.

This gewurztraminer wine grape is more commonly made as a sweet style into a sweet wine or dessert wine on the East Coast of the United States, but through careful yeast selection and cold fermentation, our winemakers have captured the floral aromas and distinctive aromas  delivering an outstanding wine with near zero residual sugar levels.
