2013 Doyle Vineyard Gewürztraminer

An extraordinarily complex, full flavored Gewürztraminer produced by fermenting in neutral oak barrels with extended “sur lie” aging. This Alsacian-styled Gewürztraminer is full bodied and offers a creamy, toasty character and subtle floral, rose petal and spice nuances. The grapes for this premium vintage were grown in Doyle Vineyard, a meticulously tended block, on the West side of Seneca Lake near Dresden.
