Tasting Notes
This Gewürztraminer pours a pale gold with shimmering green reflections. Aromas of lychee, rose petal, white peach, and ginger spice leap from the glass. The palate is bright and dry, showing layers of pear, citrus peel, and exotic spices, with a clean, balanced finish that highlights its refreshing acidity and minerality.
Winemaker Notes
Aromas
-
Classic Gewürztraminer aromatics – lychee, honeysuckle, Turkish delight, and hints of citrus zest and ginger.
Palate
-
Medium-bodied and dry with floral elegance, crisp acidity, and a touch of spice.
Finish
-
Clean, refreshing, and delicately perfumed; finishes with lingering rosewater and citrus spice notes.
Grapes were sourced from carefully selected vineyard blocks in the Okanagan Valley and gently pressed before undergoing a cool fermentation in stainless steel to preserve aromatic intensity and freshness.
Food Pairing Suggestions
This versatile white pairs well with both classic and adventurous fare:
-
Thai green curry or Vietnamese lemongrass chicken
-
Grilled sausages with apple chutney
-
Spiced Indian dishes (e.g., chicken korma, samosas)
-
Soft cheeses like Brie or Cambozola
-
Fruit-based appetizers like melon and prosciutto
Its aromatic profile and balanced acidity make it a dream with anything slightly spicy or richly aromatic.
