Banyan Monterey County Gewurztraminer 2014

This off dry 2014 Gewurztraminer is grown at Mission Ranch and Ventana Vineyards in the Arroyo Seco AVA of Monterey. Typical for that area, wind, fog, and cool temperatures predominate year round. The vineyard is carefully farmed to assure the specific ripeness, a balance of sugar and acidity, that we are looking for. A long growing season and temperatures that rarely rise above 80 degrees create an ideal spot for such an intensely aromatic wine.
