This Dry Gewurztraminer has been the flagship wine at Claiborne & Churchill since our first vintage in 1983. Over the last 38 years we have sourced the grapes for this wine from all over the Central Coast: Edna Valley, Santa Barbara County, and Monterey County. With this 2021 Gewurz we are happy to introduce a brand new source: Loma del Rio Vineyard, located in the cool Monterey County appellation.
The fruit was picked at optimal ripeness, destemmed, pressed and then fermented in a temperature-controlled stainless steel tank. In its aromatics and flavor profile it harks back to many of our prior hallmark vintages. It opens with aromas of pineapple, rose petals and lychee.
Expressive flavors of papaya, guava, coconut and spices greet the palate. For a completely dry wine it is incredibly lush and succulent. It would be a perfect accompaniment to spicy Thai or Indian curries.
