Staff Pick Notes

Eminence Road is the most exciting New York winery, and this sparkling, lightly orange Gewurztraminer is why. Tremendously aromatic, spicy, wild, with some light waxiness alongside very pretty aromas of rosewater, lychee, and pineapple. At Eminence Road, all of the white wines undergo a 2 or 3 day maceration, and the juice is allowed to oxidize lightly before fermentation. Foot stomping and an absolute minimum of sulfur are the norm. They've made a small amount of Gewurz for a few years, but this is the first time we've been able to get some made in the delightful pet nat style. Equally amazing with Persian food, pork and latkes in applesauce, and garlic heavy chicken broccoli. It's low alcohol too (10.7%) so don't feel TOO bad once you discover that you've polished off a whole bottle by yourself.

The pink-skinned Gewürztraminer does best in cooler climates, which allow the grapes to develop good balancing acidity. This is a necessary attribute of any...
