Fetzer Gewurztraminer Shaly Loam 2017

Shaly Loam Gewürztraminer is crafted in an off-dry style, offering a subtle sweetness balanced by crisp acidity and vibrant varietal character. The nose delivers exotic layers of melon, peach and apricot preserves, rosewater, candied ginger and a touch of warm cinnamon spice. On the palate, a delicate sweetness offsets richly nuanced notes of peach cobbler and pineapple upside-down cake, a medley framed by subtle savory notes of cashew nuts and pastry.

A solid choice for anyone seeking a medium-sweet wine, this bottling starts with aromas of Key lime pie, orange blossom and lemon-lime soda, leaning toward petrol. Racy acidity slices through the palate, which is sweet in honeysuckle and orange blossom flavors.
