Gewürztraminer was planted in 2012 on one four-acre plot on our Seneca estate vineyard. Temperatures here are a few degrees warmer than Keuka thus providing riper fruit notes. Soils on Seneca are characterized by deep honeoye silt loam. Gewürztraminer blocks on our Keuka vineyard were planted in 1968 and 1981 on 3309 rootstocks. Soils here are shallow, shale-based which add minerality, acidity, and elegance.

Gewurztraminer's classic lychee, white flowers, and white pepper with an alluring twist of toasted sesame, dried herbs, chalk, and lemon cardamom. Powerful and seductive with a drying finish.

Pair with Middle Eastern, Moroccan, Thai, and Asian cuisines. Pairs well with Aromatic Ingredients like Pepper, Ginger, Curry, Sesame, and Soy.
