Gewurztraminer

Gewurztraminer Wine Details
Price: $18.00 per bottle

Description: The inaugural release of this 2004 Gewurztraminer begins a new addition to the Thornton line of outstanding varietal wines. Gewurztraminer, known as the mostly widely used grape in the Alsace region of France, actually originated in Austria. Our Gewurztraminer is grown right here in the Temecula Valley, and picked at optimum maturity to showcase the floral qualities of this wine. Opening with crisp tropical fruit and spice in the nose, the bright sweet flavors of pear, mango and linalool coat the palate. A lingering finish of nutmeg, clove and anise leave you in anticipation of the next sip. Enjoy this wine by itself as an aperitif, or with spicy ethnic foods.
