2018 King Estate Gewurztraminer

Tasting Notes

This wine is made from 100% estate-grown Biodynamic® fruit. It is an enticing golden straw color in the glass, exhibiting notes of apricot, apple pie, mango, key lime, honeydew, damp slate, white rose petal and hints of cinnamon on the nose. Those flavors continue to develop and delight on the palate. Mouthfeel is light yet juicy fruit to start. Refreshing acidity builds on the mid palate and continues on the finish where hints of cinnamon and roses linger.

Vineyard Notes

King Estate Vineyard, one of the coolest and highest elevation sites in the Willamette Valley, is perfectly suited for the small parcels of Gewürztraminer found on Block 19 of the estate. King Estate Winery is certified by Demeter USA as the largest Biodynamic vineyard in the United States and has been certified organic since 2002.
