Dr. Frank Gewürztraminer 2009
VINIFICATION:
The grapes were handpicked, destemmed and set for 24 hours on cool skin contact. They were then gently pressed, cold settled and fermented for seven weeks at a very low temperature with special Gewürztraminer yeast to preserve the maximum amount of flavors. After seven weeks the fermentation was stopped to retain a small amount of it’s own residual sugars. The wine was stabilized, filtered and bottled.
DESCRIPTION:
The '09 Gewürztraminer has aromas of orange blossoms, citrus and banana. The light residual sugar gives a subtle honey introduction followed by an acidic balance enhanced with the slatey influence of our estate vineyards. Serve with turkey, pork or rich Asian and Indian foods
