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.

The North Coast AVA is a vast "super region" covering three million acres of prime land north of San Francisco. It encompasses the famous wine counties of Napa, Sonoma and Mendocino, as well as Lake, Marin and Solano. While most wines from these counties are made under one of the prestigious regional AVAs, winemakers can also blend grapes from different counties. In this way, they create wines that show off the quality of the entire region and are not limited to specific terroirs. Common varieties include Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc and Zinfandel.
