Our cool, high-elevation vineyards are well-suited to this variety and allow the grapes to achieve ripeness while retaining a balanced acidity. The 2004 Vintage Gewürztraminer is quite possibly the most misunderstood wine in California. For most, Gewürztraminer brings about ideas of sweet, over-powering sipping wines that Grandmas drink. And we can’t say the main style California produces does anything to dissuade people of this notion. But what if a winery were to let Gewürzt be what it wants to be, a serious drier wine destined for food? What you would get is a Madroña Gewürztraminer. From the first whiff of the aromas to the tingle of the lingering finish, it’s obvious the 2004 vintage is something special. The nose is incredibly complex, highlighting notes of gooseberry, peaches and orange marmalade, and that’s just the beginning. Allow the wine to get accustomed to its surroundings, and it opens up with a classic rose perfume character, framed by subtle hints of tropical piña colada. Let the wine sit in the glass a little more, and the layers of depth in the aromas just keep unfolding. The palate is equally enticing, traveling that fine line of being bright yet rich, with its dryness only accentuating the inherent elegance that Gewürztraminer can have. Ripe ruby grapefruit characters abound balanced by a dash of fresh tart mango and lychee fruit. Add to this a full-bodied finish that is surprisingly refreshing, and you have just enjoyed Gewürztraminer in all its wonder. Serve this wine ever-so-slightly chilled, and enjoy how it opens up and changes over the course of the meal. Not only is Gewürzt our preferred wine with spicy Thai and Jamaican dishes, it is the quintessential wine for smoked salmon and a traditional Thanksgiving turkey. To make Gewürztraminer with this purity and complexity, however, it means we work with it very carefully. Thus, so as to not strip the delicate characters away, we have not fined this wine. It may, with time, become slightly cloudy or throw a sediment. Enjoy it knowing that you are tasting the wine at it’s finest.<a href="http://www.madronavineyards.com/ourwines/pdfs/2004_gewurztraminer.pdf" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.nexternal.com/madrona/images/pdf.gif" width="16" height="17" border="0" align="absmiddle"></a> Printable wine description and facts </body> </html> Facts<LI>Appellation: El Dorado County <LI>Blend: 100% Gewürztraminer <LI>Production: 640 Cases <LI>Alcohol: 14.2% <LI>pH: 3.68 <LI>Total Acidity: 0.47g/100ml <LI>Residual Sugar: 0.3% Other products in the category <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/madrona/Category22" TITLE="Discontinued Items">Discontinued Items</A>: <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/madrona/Product73 TITLE="2003 30th Anniversary Chardonnay">2003 30th Anniversary Chardonnay</A> -- Limit 1 Bottle <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/madrona/Product227 TITLE="2007 New-World Port (Futures)">2007 New-World Port (Futures)</A> <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/madrona/Product229 TITLE="2008 Port Futures Release Party">2008 Port Futures Release Party</A> -- You must have purchased Port Futures to purchase tickets! <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/madrona/Product120 TITLE="2003 Cabernet Sauvignon">2003 Cabernet Sauvignon</A> <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/madrona/Product230 TITLE="2008 Port Futures Release Party - Guest Tickets">2008 Port Futures Release Party - Guest Tickets</A> -- You must have purchased Port Futures to purchase tickets! <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/madrona/Product130 TITLE="2004 Reserve Malbec">2004 Reserve Malbec</A> -- Extremely Limited <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/madrona" TITLE="Madrona Vineyards Products">Madrona Vineyards Products</A> <A HREF="http://www.MadronaVineyards.com">Madrona Vineyards</A> Madrona Vineyards <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com" TITLE="ecommerce software">ecommerce software</A> powered by Nexternal
