RADOG, 2007 Dry Gewurztraminer, Monterey

Winemaker's Notes Made from 36 year-old vines growing in gravelly soil, the vineyard is very cool and windy in this Monterey AVA site. Free-run juice with no skin contact eliminates any bitterness on the finish. The wine is fermented in stainless steel. Made in a classic Alsatian style, there are grapefruit and honeysuckle characteristics. Classic Gewurztraminer - floral aromas, stone fruits, and a spiciness that lingers in memory as a mix between wet stone and ginger. This wine is almost dry with enough fruity goodness to qualify as plain yummy with the foods of the season. Though ham is the classic pairing, avoid triteness by pairing this wine with most any Asian food or light dish featuring sweet-and-savory seasonings or sauces." - Dave the Wine Merchant Wine Specs Vintage 2007 Varietal Gewurztraminer Appellation Monterey Sugar 1.20% Fermentation Stainless Steel Barrels Alcohol 12.8%
