Gewurztraminer 2009 - Afton Mountain Vineyards - Afton, VA

$19.00

The Gewurztraminer is my favorite wine at Afton Mountain Vineyards! This “Gewurz” is very aromatic and flavorful. It’s a dry wine, but not intensely dry. I found it to be dryer than your typical Gewurztraminer, but not as dry as say - a Chardonnay. Afton’s Gewurz has a floral nose, with just a touch of pepper. I tasted a complex combination of fruit and floral, a bit of a battle between the two trying to see who can stand out the most. For me, the fruit one over in taste with the orange peel. I also got a hint of the pepper, making the wine a little spicy. The Gewurz has a very crisp, clean finish. I enjoyed this wine with a salad, topped with a Asian sesame dressing. I think it would also be great with any seafood dish or spicy meal. As always, I recommend a trip to Afton Mountain Vineyards. The views are breathtaking, the service is friendly and the wine is well, delicious.
