Alexander Valley Vineyards, Gewurztraminer, Mendocino County 2022

“The 2022 Gewürz has an enticing perfumed, floral nose and initial aromas of apple, grapefruit, citrus, rose, tropical lychee, stone fruit and pear.  This release is a bit drier than prior vintages and has loads of minerality and bright flavors.  In the glass there are spicy flavors of apple, pear, grapefruit, along with nice acid balance on the finish.”

Alexander Valley Vineyards Gewürz is harvested exclusively from a single small CCOF (“California Certified Organic Farmers”) vineyard about one hour north of their home estate, located in Mendocino’s cool growing region of Potter Valley. This rugged location is the key to the great acidity and balance in this Gewürz.
