WINE DESCRIPTION
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.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Gundlach Bundschu Estate Vineyard Dry Gewürztraminer is a delightful white wine with a rich and aromatic profile.On the nose, it offers enticing notes of lychee, rose petals, and exotic spices. The palate is equally impressive, with flavors of tropical fruits, including pineapple and mango, complemented by a hint of ginger. This wine has a crisp acidity that balances its fruitiness, resulting in a refreshing and well-rounded finish. It pairs wonderfully with Asian cuisine, particularly dishes with a touch of spice.
