Our Gewurztraminer has wonderful aromas of yellow apple, rose water, lychee nut, quince, and candied ginger. This off-dry, medium-bodied wine has a smooth, slightly rich mouthfeel, and lovely flavours of tropical fruits, ginger and floral notes that linger on the finish. Enjoy with spicy curries, glazed pork belly, and pear & blue cheese salad.
WINEMAKING Our 2020 Gewürztraminer was harvested from two vineyards within the Okanagan Valley: Hidden Terrace Vineyard in Oliver, and K&V Vineyard in Kelowna. The Hidden Terrace grapes were harvested first, pressed upon arrival at the winery, then fermented in stainless steel tanks; the tank was chilled to stop fermentation at 7 g/l of residual sweetness, allowing the aromatics and fruit to shine. The K&V grapes were harvested three weeks later, given a short period of skin contact with the juice, wild ferment in a stainless-steel tank, and stopped on its own at 2 brix. The wines were then blended together, and 50% was aged in a large French oak foudre (2000L oval oak tank), and 50% was aged in a stainless-steel tank, for six months before final blending and bottling. FLAVOUR PROFILE The 2020 Gewurztraminer has wonderful aromas of yellow apple, rose water, lychee nut, quince, and candied ginger.
