Gewurztraminer
|
2005 GewĂĽrztraminer
GewĂĽrztraminer comes in several styles, and all are increasingly popular. Our Valley Oaks style is made with a traditional taste profile, just a bit sweet but oh so perfect at hol ... moreiday or any time you need a wine to complement a meal. Crisp acidity is a hallmark of this wine. Grapes are sourced from cool-climate regions of California
(hot weather just won’t do for this varietal) and we treat the grapes to a slow, cold fermentation averaging 50° in nothing but stainless steel tanks. The absence of oak is purposeful.

2005 Valley Oaks California Riesling
We’re proud to share that our 2004 Valley Oaks Riesling was the most awarded Riesling in US Wine Competitions last year, winning a pair of
Double Gold Medals along with three Go ... morelds and six Silvers. This 2005 vintage: even better, so we’re clearing space in our trophy case. Cooler regions of Monterey County provide grapes that form the basis of this blend, and we add touches of aromatic varietals to craft a richly floral, richly fruity wine I know you’ll enjoy. A slow, cool fermentation in stainless keeps the fruit as the center of attention.

2005 Pinot Grigio
Adhering to varietal correctness is a byword for many winemakers. We strive for it as well, but we’re not above making improvements. The Italian Pinot Grigio craze has spawned ... morea California following, said Wine Discoveries, and the front of the Pinot Grigio parade starts right
here. Our PG is perhaps richer, perhaps fruitier than some styles, but you’ll recognize the high acidity and balanced crispness that make this
wine a wonderful summer sipper. But don’t wait for hot weather: drink what you like, when you like to drink it. A slow, cool fermentation in stainless makes it all possible.
