I respect wineries who respect this variety in the face of the difficulties of selling wine whose varietal name is hard to pronounce. This is very well done, with orange oil aromas leading boldly in a crisp, dry style. It reminds me of the old Breggo Gewurztraminer from the same region, and it shows the versatility possible. Just ask for dry GW when you call — they’ll know what you’re after.
