Terroir Select

2008 Mendocino County Gewurztraminer

Stonehedge Winery's Terroir Select Gewurztraminer from the 2008 vintage is a beautifully crafted white wine that truly showcases the unique terroir of Mendocino County. This delightful Gewurztraminer presents a light-body feeling on the palate, harmonizing with its high acidity that lends a refreshing brightness to each sip. The fruit intensity is prominent, offering fragrant notes of ripe lychee, juicy peach, and a hint of spice that envelops the senses. Its dryness is well-balanced, allowing the wine's vibrant fruit characteristics to shine without being overly sweet. With its delightful combination of flavors and a crisp finish, this Gewurztraminer is an exceptional choice for those seeking an expressive and food-friendly white wine.

Region:


Mendocino County

One of the unsung regions of the North Coast, Mendocino County enjoys some of California's finest cool-climate terroirs. Lying north of Sonoma, it is home to 12 separate AVAs, spread through sleepy valleys and long, rugged coastlines—much of which exudes a rustic, laid-back feel. Mendocino delights fans of top-quality Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and sparkling wine, but there is also plenty of fine Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel and Syrah made in its warmer sites too. Mendocino is also famous for its high number of organic-certified vineyards, reflecting the general "off-grid" hippie nature of its winemaking pioneers.
