The First Wine of the Vintage!

A white counterpart to Nouveau Beaujolais.

New Gewürz accentuates the inherent, unique characteristics of the Gewürztraminer grape. To capture and enhance the lively, spicy character of this varietal, we cold-ferment the chilled juice then immediately bottle the wine.

The Wine Report says -

… to satisfy the passionate winelovers, there’s New Gewurz from Alexander Valley Vineyards, which actually beat Beaujolais Nouveau to the marketplace. This fruity, spicy white has a trace of residual sugar, a tiny bit of spritz and that trademark floral, brown spice, grapefruit zest and ginger personality. It’s crisp and delicious. This wine is sure to please both the wine geek at your table as well as the wine novice.

Try pairing it with holiday dinners or any bold
and spicy dish. Chill well, twist the top and
enjoy!

Winemaker’s Comments

New Gewurz accentuates the inherent, unique characteristics of the Gewurztraminer grape. To capture and enhance the lively, spicy character of this varietal, we cold-ferment the chilled juice then immediately bottle the wine. Released in early November, New Gewurz is the perfect holiday aperitif and mealtime complement.

Explosively aromatic aromas of rose petals, ginger, grapefruit, litchi nuts and nutmeg. Fresh floral, brown spice and citrus flavors unfold on the palate, extending through a lasting, crisp finish. The wine has a trace of residual sugar and slight effervescence.
