Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Deep straw in color, the wine displays hints of peach, apricot and toffee with a smooth undertone of honey.
Vineyard Notes
This Castello Estate vineyard is located just south of the town of Boonville in Anderson Valley, a coastal valley region famed for Burgundian and Alsatian varieties. The vineyard was planted in the late 1990’s to Pinot Noir, Pinot Grigio, Gewürztraminer, and Riesling.
Production Notes
A succulent and deliciously spicy white wine loaded with aroma and flavor, made in a "Noble Rot" dessert, or very sweet, style.
Winemaker Notes
Because of the mid-level alcohol content and high residual sugar the late harvest Gewurtz will continue to evolve for the next 10+ years. We just served a 2007 at one of our member dinners and it was stunning!
Food Pairing Notes
Ideal with after dinner desserts of chocolate torte, crème brulee or baked fruit with an artisanal cheese selection.

I am not a wine or alcohol drinker, I’ve never found anything I like. However, we did a wine testing here and this was so delicious I had to buy a bottle
