2006 Balletto Estate Gewurztraminer
This is our second vintage of gewürztraminer. As grape growers first, we strongly feel that with good grapes comes good wine. It all starts in the field. With the help of consulting winemaker Dan Cederquist, we have once again produced an excellent Russian River Valley Gewurztraminer.
This wine begins with aromas of lychee nut, spice, orange peel, mango and coconut. It has crisp, lively acidity with flavors of orange-lime and tangerine-mango. Our estate Gewurztraminer pairs well with spicy Thai foods or as a an aperitif.
