2008 South Coast Winery Gewurztraminer
Gewurztraminer
2008 Temecula Valley
The infamous "G" wine, known for its difficulty of pronunciation and its ability to elicit an exclamation of "Gee, what a wine!" is actually an ancient Italian cultivar that may have migrated from Tramin, a village in northern Italy, across the Alps and into the rest of Europe. Gewurztraminer, (pronounced Guh-verts-tra-mee-ner) essentially means spicy, or perfumed grape of Tramin. The wine itself is of unparalleled character, and is often regarded as one of the most distinctive and flavorful white varietals in the wine community. This South Coast Winery vintage is lightly sweet, with a solid acidity and exotic floral scents of roses and lychee fruit. This wine has all the distinctive varietal character that Gewurztraminer should possess and is very delicate and soft, not syrupy or cloying. Maybe difficult to pronounce, but well worth the effort!
