Chateau St. Michelle Gewürztraminer 2020

 


Spiced pineapple rings, a tropical fruit melange, wrapped in a pale golden hue.

Palate--Lovely peach nectar, sun ripened fresh pineapple, sweet pie spices, on a fresh foundation with a really nice lingering finish that takes you to a tropical paradise.  This wine is hard not to chug!

Gewürztraminer--meaning "spicy Traminer" where Traminer is the premier grape of Alsace and northern Germany, but has been crafted in a delightful way by a few vintners in North America.  North American varieties tend to be a bit sweeter than the Alsatian and German creations but done right, they are all wonderfully fresh quaffing wines great as an aperitif, or chilled down for a patio glass on a hot summer day. 

While you're at it, try St. Michelle's Riesling as well; you'll love it!

At the $10 price point I recommend you seek one out and give it a whirl. Raise a Glass!
