Gewurztraminer
2008  Adler Fels Russian River Valley Gewurztraminer

Wine
We have sourced the grapes for our Gewürztraminer from the same vineyard in the Russian River Valley AVA for over twenty years. The gentle sloping terrain on the vineyards allows for good soil drainage and healthy vines that produce concentrated grapes with intense varietal character. 
Our 2008 Gewürztraminer exhibits the typical varietal aromas of rose petal and lychee. These floral, perfumed aromas are balanced with zesty tangerine and pineapple on the nose. A long, slow fermentation in stainless steel tanks ensures that the wine retains these bright aromatics. A soft mouthfeel and balanced citrus flavors of lemon and grapefruit lead to a crisp, slightly mineral finish.
