2007 Selection Limited Edition from Winexpert
| |||||||||
|
|
The Region: The Pacific Coast of North America has micro-climates that match those of the
blazing sunshine of the Mediterranean to the crisp mountain air of the upper Rhine. With
so much range and variety, there is a perfect terroir for almost any grape you can name.
The Wine: This wine showcases bright fruit, excellent structure and a long finish. Vidal from British Columbia gives spiciness and stone fruit. Chenin Blanc from California gives a wonderful melony-honeyed aroma with hints of apple. Gewürztraminer from Washington contributes lychee, rose petals and floral notes, and Muscat from Australia’s Murray-Darling Valley gives wonderful grapey notes with dried fruit and hints of orange peel. The Food: This wine has a range of fruit character and enough acidity to stand up to a wide range of foods, particularly spicy and savory dishes, including Thai cuisine, grilled fish, herbed roast chicken or barbecued salmon. Ageing: Although delicious right on bottling day, drinking it early would prevent it from showing it’s best—after six months the Muscat and Vidal will dominate with spicy/grapey notes, after a year the Chenin Blanc’s honey and melon will come out, and at 18 months to two years the Gewürztraminer will show a perfumed floweriness and lush structure. This kit makes 6 gallons (23 liters) of wine. Body: light-medium Oak: none Sweetness: off dry | ||||||||
