Banyan Gewürztraminer 2022 Monterey Co.

Winemaker: Kenny Likitprakong

Tasting Notes: Acid is present, but the wine is not overly lean or austere, the fruit is savory and the aromatics are a little more pronounced than the last few vintages. The end result is still a relatively subtle, but distinctly aromatic wine that is true to the variety. Designed to pair perfectly with spicy Thai and Chinese cuisine.

From The Winery: 100% Gewurztraminer. Having tried it both ways, we now choose to mechanically harvest versus handpicking. The added skin contact time while in transport to the winery boosts the aromatics of the wine. Once at the winery, grapes are pressed then cold settled for 72 hours before the fermentation is allowed to begin. Fermentation this vintage lasted 31 days.
