WINE DESCRIPTION
This Meyer Gewürztraminer hails from a southwest-facing block of the McLean Creek Road Vineyard located in the Okanagan Falls. Typically, the grapes are harvested in two passes, with the first batch gently whole bunch pressed. The later pick is destemmed, lightly crushed and left to soak with the skins for a short period to enhance the aromatic profile of the wine. Both lots are combined, and a long cool indigenous fermentation occurs in a mix of stainless steel vats and seasoned oak barrels. The wine is aged on lees for a short period before being bottled ready for release.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Meyer McLean Creek Road Vineyard Gewürztraminer offers a beautiful pale copper color.On the nose, it presents an aromatic bouquet of lychee, rose petals, and exotic spices. This wine displays a medium body with an oily texture. The flavors are rich and well-defined, with notes of tropical fruits such as pineapple and mango, along with hints of rose water and blossom. The acidity is soft but provides balance to the aromatic opulence and touch of sweetness.
