Alexander Valley Vineyards
Gewurz-Organically Grown
Our Gewürz is harvested exclusively from a single small CCOF (“California Certified Organic Farmers”) vineyard about one hour north of our home estate, located in Mendocino’s cool growing region of Potter Valley. This rugged location is the key to the great acidity and balance in our Gewürz.

Tasting Notes
Bouquet:Floral nose and initial aromas of mineral and wet stone, along with apple, grapefruit, citrus, rose, tropical lychee, stone fruit and pear.
Taste:Spicy flavors of apple, pear and grapefruit. This nice, round wine is balanced by the nice acidity on the finish.
Food Pairing:Enjoy with salty, spicy or boldly flavored dishes. Try with Thai, Indian curries, grilled seafood or sushi.
Winemaking
We harvest the Gewürztraminer at night, then cold ferment the juice in stainless steel tanks to preserve the natural acidity and the bright aromatics of the wine.
