2012 Gewürztraminer Released - New Wines Coming Soon

So the bad news is, we just sold out of our delicious 2011 Gewürztraminer. The good news is, we just released our delicious 2012 Gewürztraminer! Visit our tasting room today for a sample of the new vintage. The new wine displays hints of light citrus and undertones of crushed caraway seed, flavors of lychee and passion fruit, with a nice smooth finish. The 0.85% residual sugar content balances with the acidity and full flavor of the wine to produce a smooth dry flavorful experience.

Keep an eye on this page for news of other upcoming releases. The 2012 Dry Riesling will be released at the end of March, followed soon after by Marquis, Pinot Grigio, Pinot Rosé and Chardonnay.

See you at the winery!
