ALEXANDER VALLEY VINEYARDS GEWURZ MENDOCINO
From the Winery: “Our Gewürz is harvested exclusively from a single small CCOF (“California Certified Organic Farmers”) vineyard about one hour north of our home estate, located in Mendocino’s cool growing region of Potter Valley. This rugged location is the key to the great acidity and balance in our Gewürz.
2021 was almost a near perfect grow season, though it began with a cold start, and lack of rainfall. The weather warmed up, but the drought continued. This was followed by weeks of steady daytime heat and cool evenings, allowing the grapes to ripen evenly. Harvest began quickly and yields were a bit lighter than in prior vintages. At harvest, the quality of the fruit was excellent with high acidity and intense flavors.”
