Floral and spicy with just a hint of sweetness, our Gewürztraminer is a wonderfully refreshing light white wine. Blending German and French traditions, this crisp, Alsatian style “Gewürz” pairs well with spicy Asian, Indian, and Thai food, as well as the standard fare of Thanksgiving and Oktoberfest.

The impact of the October 2020 freeze, and the subsequent decimation of the Colorado wine grape crop, is becoming evident in the wines we have available. Our Gewürztraminer vines were frozen to the ground and, while we were able to re-train them back up on the trellis, there was no 2021 crop. We were able to source a small amount of Gewürztraminer juice from the Grand Valley.
The fermentation proceeds very cooly, beginning at 48 degrees and peaking at 66 degrees for just a few hours. No secondary fermentation was allowed and the primary completed on November 29. After cold stabilizing in the Colorado winter, and heat stabilizing, the wine is cleared and bottled in mid-summer for a fall release. While somewhat different than our estate grown version, the 2021 has our signature, rose petal and lychee fruit character making it a great pairing for Asian cuisine or turkey and dressing at Thanksgiving.
