Production Details The Trottacker component comes from vines described as 50+ years old. After a mild, wet winter, April budbreak and early-June flowering, hot June and July weather led to drought; mid-August rain renewed growth and accelerated ripening, with healthy grapes at harvest. Fully ripe grapes were delicately pneumatically pressed, fermented in stainless steel without malolactic fermentation or prolonged lees aging, bottled the following spring, and then cellared for six years.
Tasting Notes Complex citrus, spice, ginger and pastry aromas; dry, delicately acidic, ripe and long, with rich fruit and a soft texture

Production Details The Trottacker component comes from vines described as 50+ years old. The 2012 season was warm, producing ripe and elegant Gewurztraminer; grapes were picked as late as possible to maximize ripeness, flavor depth and complexity. Fully ripe grapes were delicately pneumatically pressed, fermented in stainless steel without malolactic fermentation or prolonged lees aging, bottled the following spring, and then cellared for six years.
Tasting Notes Spicy and exotic; ripe but not sweet; concentrated, pure, persistent and powerful, with grip, richness, finesse and elegance
