2021 Fossil & Fawn Gewurztraminer (Orange), Oregon, USA
$32.99
Gewürztraminer 91%, Riesling 9%. The majority of the fruit for this bottling came from vines planted in the 1990's at Andreas Vineyard, located in the Coast Range Foothills. The grapes were destemmed into egg shaped fermenters and topped with a small amount of Riesling from Sunnyside Vineyard - bringing some additional acidity to the blend. After macerating on the skins until dry, the wine was pressed into neutral French oak barrels to mature for two months. Bottled unfined/unfiltered.
