NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Alexander Valley Vineyards Gewürz is a delightful expression of the Gewürztraminer grape variety.On the nose, expect an array of floral notes, including rose petals, jasmine, and honeysuckle, accompanied by hints of tropical fruits such as lychee and pineapple.
The flavors of ripe peaches, apricots, and citrus fruits dance on the taste buds, creating a refreshing and vibrant experience. The wine's medium body and smooth texture contribute to its overall elegance.
The finish is long and lingering, leaving a pleasant impression of spice, particularly white pepper and ginger. This Gewürztraminer is best enjoyed chilled and pairs wonderfully with Asian cuisine, spicy dishes, or soft cheeses.

ORIGINS
Winery: Alexander Valley Vineyards
Region: North Coast California
The North Coast of California boasts some of the most renowned vineyards and wineries in the world. Located in the northern part of the state, the North Coast is home to the Napa Valley, Sonoma County, and Mendocino County, all of which are recognised for their exceptional wines.
The North Coast of California has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The region was first planted with vines by Spanish missionaries, who planted Mission grapes in the area. In the late 1800s, Italian immigrants began to settle in the region, bringing with them their own grape varieties and winemaking techniques. By the early 1900s, the North Coast had become a major wine-producing region, with many of the wineries still in operation today.CUSTOMER RATING
