Introduction:
Fetzer Gewurztraminer is a fresh and aromatic white wine crafted from grapes grown along California’s coast, including Monterey County. The cooler 2019 vintage allowed the fruit to develop bright acidity and complex flavors, creating an off-dry wine that is vibrant and layered with floral and fruity notes. This wine is perfect for pairing with spicy dishes or sipping on its own.
