Corazón Gewürztraminer

Corazón Gewürztraminer Wine Details
Price: $20.00 per bottle

Description: I have always been very fond of Alsatian wines, especially Gewürztraminer. They offer wonderfully full, spicy, complex flavors and, when truly dry, complement a wide range of flavors in foods. In 1999 I began producing a small lot of Gewürztraminer from a 25-year-old vineyard in the Anderson Valley, which is clearly the best area in California for the variety. Fermented to complete dryness, the Corazón Gewürztraminer is bottled in the spring following the vintage. Made this way, Gewürztraminer cries out for food. Very aromatic, the mouthfilling flavors of pear, lychee nut, rose petal and grapefruit are balanced by snappy acidity. Corazón is derived from the ancestral form of my family name and means “heart” in Spanish.
