The 2017 Gewürztraminer was crafted from hand-harvested grapes from the Quarry Road
Vineyard, located on the Vinemount Ridge. The warm 2017 vintage led
to slower ripening, exceptional varietal intensity and great acidity in aromatic varietals.
This is clearly evident on the nose of this fragrant Gewürztraminer, bursting with lychee and pink grapefruit, as well as pretty floral notes. On the palate, enticing notes of marmalade and candied ginger and refreshing acidity balance the residual sweetness and make this aromatic wine extremely food-friendly.
Body: light
Recommended food pairings: With its floral notes and hint of sweetness, Gewürztraminer is the perfect choice with
spicy dishes, especially Asian cuisine. It pairs beautifully with miso-glazed pork belly,
coconut shrimp, ginger-glazed salmon or sweet-chili chicken stir-fry. With its lush body,
it is also a great match for chicken liver mousse or pan-seared foie gras!
