| Vinification The 2008 growing season began late due to a cool spring but July and August presented higher temperatures allowing for steady photosynthesis resulting in excellent sugar accumulation. A moderate September and October arrested sugar development permitting the grapes to mature and develop their great Okanagan flavours. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Winemaking Harvested on November 1st, with 50% enjoying a 12 hour cold soak in the press. This followed with a long slow ferment in stainless steel. All these components, add flavours and complexity to the final elegant wine. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Aroma / Bouquet / Nose This wine displays a spicy aroma of lychee fruit and rose petal, blossom and hints of pink grapefruit. Our Gewürztraminer bursts with rich, exotic flavours of lychees and ripe melons to match it's crisp acidity and off-dry finish. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Food and Wine Pairing A perfect accompaniment to spicy, aromatic flavours. Try a Thai Summer bean stew with Chicken, a light spicy curry with a touch of heat to accompany our 2008 Gewurztraminer. | |||||||||||||||||||||
