"This wine is our homage to the white wine blends of Alsace. Our
region’s climate is very similar to that of Alsace. 2006 brought a
bumper crop to us and we began to think of a blended white, enabling us
to bottle a larger batch than our single varieties would allow. The
resulting blend is 37% gewürztraminer, 32% riesling and 31% pinot gris.
Each of these varietals contributes a distinctive element to the blend.
The aromatics are driven by the floral qualities of the gewürztraminer.
The full body and lingering mouthfeel comes from the ripe and rich
pinot gris. Riesling contributes to the clean acidity. This wine is
bursting with fresh white peaches, grapefruit, honeysuckle and lemon
blossoms. There is a touch of sweetness .8%, bright fresh acid and a
long lingering finish. This pleasing summertime sipper has everything
going for it."
