Sweet Gertie

2009 Red Mountain Gewürztraminer

The Madsen Family Cellars Sweet Gertie is a delightful Gewürztraminer hailing from the renowned Red Mountain region. This white wine showcases a light-bodied profile that dances gracefully on the palate, making it an inviting choice for those who appreciate the elegance of bright flavors. With a refreshing acidity that enhances its crisp character, Sweet Gertie is a drier style of Gewürztraminer, allowing the expressive fruit notes to take center stage. Expect prominent aromas and flavors of lychee, peach, and floral accents that create a beautifully aromatic bouquet. This wine is perfect for pairing with a variety of dishes, from spicy Asian cuisine to fragrant cheeses, and it stands out as a versatile and enjoyable offering from the 2009 vintage.

Region:


Washington
Washington

With 18 recognized AVAs, Washington is the second-largest wine-producing state in the United States. Most of these AVAs are located in the east, centered around the valleys of Walla Walla, the Columbia River and Yakima. The grape varieties that thrive here are numerous: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling and Pinot Gris all continue to make increasingly compelling wines. Washington wines thrive in dry, semi-arid conditions far from the Pacific Ocean and are protected from the Pacific Northwest rain shadow by the Olympic and Cascade mountain ranges. Washington owes its unique terroir to the historic Missoula Floods, which swept through the region 10,000 years ago, stripping away the earth and replacing it with sandy soils from modern-day Utah, Idaho and Montana.
