Jacob Gundlach's Gewürztraminer, rooted in Rhinefarm's history since its introduction from his homeland, showcases a dry expression amidst Alsace's sweeter versions. Their philosophy intertwines tradition and innovation, with 44- and 10-year-old vines benefiting from the cooling Petaluma Gap breezes. Night-harvested, the grapes undergo meticulous handling, with 15% frozen to enhance mouthfeel. Fermented separately, each vineyard block's nuances shine, culminating in a wine of structured acidity and intense aromatics. The lower vineyards, influenced by cooling fog and soil rich in clay-loam, yield fruit with mineral elements. This Gewürztraminer, vinified predominantly in stainless steel, reflects Rhinefarm's dedication to quality and tradition.
