Gewurztrzminer |
|
 |
This wine is not grown in enough areas in this country, especially
considering the spectacular results of the efforts of a handful of
vintners in California's Russian River Valley, Anderson Valley and
Santa Barbara County. Its roots can be traced to Northern Italy's
Traminer, although is grown successfully as Gewurtztraminer (Gewurz
means spicy) in Austria, Germany, Alsace and elsewhere. It is rich,
full-bodied and powerful, with ripe pears, tropical fruits and
reminiscent of lychee nuts. At its best it is perfumed with floral
qualities, like roses, and potently spicy, especially in the aroma. |
