Vineyard Notes
The grapes for this single vineyard Gewurztraminer were grown on our estate vineyard, River Rock Vineyards, planted in a location that allows the vine to thrive and mature fruit of a consistent quality and character. The vines were in their 19th leaf when the fruit was harvested. All of our vineyards are on south facing slopes where soils are composed of rock, sand, and gravel laid down during the last glacial recession.
Production Notes
The Gewurztraminer was hand-picked, at peak ripeness, and destemmed and pressed after a short period of skin contact time. The juice is then allowed to settle and racked to another stainless steel tank where it is inoculated with yeast starting the temperature controlled fermentation. The wine spent several months on the finer lees before finning, blending, filtering and bottling.

The 2020 Gewurz was superb and we loved it but the 2021 is lacking character and body....just way too light and just not up to the usual complexity we've come to expect from River Stone.
