Umpqua Valley Gewürztraminer

Umpqua Valley Gewürztraminer Wine Details
Price: $14.00 per bottle

Description: The grape source is the Bradley Vineyard in Elkton, planted in 1983. This is a lovely wine that came from very mature aromatic fruit. The wine is fermented in tanks at 50 to 55 degrees F to preserve the fresh fruit qualities. The wine is finished with 2.5% residual sugar. It has great gewürztraminer aromas of intense tea roses, peach, leeche nut and spices. The wine pairs well with hot and spicy Asian foods, especially Thai cuisine with hot, spicy chili sauces. There is good acid in the wine, so even with this degree of residual sugar, the wine remains very much a food wine. The mouth feel is very filling and the finish is long.
