Varietal Composition: 100% Gewürztraminer – 100% estate fruit

Winemaker Notes

This aromatic Gewürztraminer opens with an expressive bouquet of lychee, jasmine, crystallized ginger, and Meyer lemon custard. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and elegantly polished, with vibrant yet balanced acidity. Fresh flavors of crisp Asian pear, delicate honeysuckle, and star fruit glide across a subtle backbone of minerality, leading to a bright, graceful finish that lingers with charm.

Production

The 2024 growing season in Anderson Valley began with a rainy winter that replenished soils, filled reservoirs and supported healthy cover crops. Mild winter temperatures led to budbreak on March 24th, followed by a cool spring that promoted balanced canopy growth. Summer brought warm days, mild winds and minimal rain, ensuring a successful bloom and fruit set. By August 19th, our earlier ripening Southeastern sites were through veraison, leading to the start of harvest on August 28th for Vin Gris and September 4th for still Pinot Noir. Moderate September temperatures provided ideal ripening conditions, while an early October heatwave accelerated ripening in higher-elevation sites, with our final Deep-end pick on October 10th. The resultant wines are vibrant and juicy, with remarkable complexity and nuance, a true reflection of Anderson Valley’s terroir.
