Gerwuztraminer 375

Late Harvest Gerwuztraminer (375ml) Wine Details
Price: $16.00 per bottle

Description: 'Late Harvest' doesn't just mean 'sweet'; it also means that the grapes were infected with the 'Noble Rot', Botrytis cinerea. This rot, which grows in its 'noble' form only under certain conditions of humidity and temperature, rarely occurs in California. But when it does, wine made from grapes infected with it make the most wonderful wines in the world. This Gewurztraminer is a beauty - it has all the spicy charm of the ideoscratic and somewhat esoteric Gewurztraminer grape layered into and around the incredible earthy and organic characters of the Botrytis rot.
