Wine Profile
Vineyard Notes
The grapes for the 2009 vintage of our new Black Series Gewürztraminer were harvested between October 13th and October 22nd 2009 from the select Niagara vineyards of Watson and Koop at 22.8° Brix.
Production Notes
Our winemakers allowed extended contact of juice and skins overnight in order to extract the intense aromatic characteristics inherent to Gewürztraminer. After cold settling, the wine was cold fermented in stainless steel tanks.
Winemaker Notes
The 2009 Black Series Gewürztraminer was vinified in a cool climate style, and displays vibrant and distinct characteristics of lychee, spice and rose petals on the nose. The palate is highlighted by fresh, crisp tropical citrus notes with a smooth prolonged finish.
Food Pairing Notes
This semi-dry wine pairs perfectly with Asian fusion and Cajun style cuisine, smoked ham, spicy poultry dishes, and younger cheeses.
