Gewürztraminer, 2022
Shipped and sold by Backyard Vineyards
This medium bodied wine is bright with acidity and a lingering dry finish. The nose is full of varietal markers such as lychee, peaches and ginger. Pair this with pork, soft cheese and spiced dishes.
The 2021 vintage was a featured wine in July's Wine Club package, 2022.
