A very good rendition of Gewurztraminer, this shows classic aromas of rose petal and backs them up with rich flavors and a notably spicy finishing kick. It is faintly sweet, but pleasantly so, and the acidity (notoriously low in this grape variety) is well above the global average. Moscato lovers, take note: Here’s a departure from your norm that you might enjoy even more. A Double Gold award winner at the 2018 Toast of the Coast Wine Competition.
