2024 Discovery Rosé of Gewurztraminer
Tasting notes
The 2024 Discovery series Rosé of Gewürztraminer has lush fruit-forward aromatics of ripe apricot, tart candied strawberry, red plum, and subtle, savory notes of chive flower and thyme. Close proximity to the coast shows in this vintage as a sea salt component. Similar notes carry through to the palate. This wine has a refreshing, textural mouth feel. The finish presents as savory and dry, making you want to go back for more. Ⓥ
This unique style of Rosé of Gewürztraminer, fermented in stainless steel, captures this varietal's pronounced aromatics through the traditional winemaking style of a rosé. Using a hard-press technique we extracted textural components on the palate and beautiful color from the skins. This is truly a refreshing wine perfect for any occasion, yet complex in nature.

The 2024 vintage was off to a cool and rainy start, with late bud break leading up to a cool weather pattern in June, bringing a dampness and foggy conditions. Gaining momentum, however, leading to a warm summer and fall, with no dramatic heat spikes, the vintage caught up by September. No weather related stress to the vineyard led to a nice natural ripeness, with all varietals able to be picked at their peak.
