The mouth is treated to a slightly off-dry sweetness that is soft, balanced and spicy on the mid-palate. Gewürztraminer is extremely versatile and can pair with a red coconut curry or a homemade Camembert, Pilz, salami and Praga ham thin crust pizza.

Our Gewürztraminer is a valley blend sourced from vineyards on the Mount Boucherie Bench, and in North, Central and South Kelowna.

The grapes were handpicked in early October and whole bunch pressed prior to cold fermentation in stainless steel tanks to highlight the intense varietal characteristics of the wine. Some residual sweetness is retained to add texture and balance to the wine’s natural acidity. Careful cellaring of up to 5 years will be rewarded.
