Mill Creek Gewürztraminer is a beautifully expressive white wine from the esteemed Mill Creek Vineyards & Winery, nestled in the heart of Dry Creek Valley. Crafted from estate-grown fruit, this Gewürztraminer originates from vines grafted with wood from their original 1979 planting, ensuring a legacy of exceptional quality and character. The vineyard’s southern location benefits from the cool fog drifting in from the nearby Russian River Valley, creating optimal growing conditions for this aromatic variety. Hand-harvested in the early morning to preserve freshness, the grapes undergo a cool, extended fermentation in stainless steel, highlighting the wine’s vibrant aromatics. A short lees aging period adds complexity, resulting in a refined and elegant expression of Dry Creek Valley terroir.
