Tinhorn Creek Vineyards releases 2007 Gewürztraminer

We're Tinhorn Creek fans at BC Wine Lover. They were one of the first Okanagan wineries to really get the value of creating a fine wine travel destination. If you're anywhere near the Golden Mile (Oliver, BC) then you should give them a visit.

Tinhorn Creek are kicking off May with their 2007 Gewürztraminer release. Harvested from September 14 to 22, 2007, each lot was crushed and fermented separately at a cool temperature to allow the wine to retain its natural fruit forward characteristics. After fermentation the lots were blended together to create one complex wine.

Following suit with the GOLD medal winning 2006 vintage (Tasters Guild International Wine Judging, Michigan; August 2007), this Gewürztraminer offers up intense rose petals, honeysuckle, and lychee aromas on the nose with ripe peaches and mangos on the palate.

One of the best pairings for the '07 Gewürztraminer is a sunny patio – simply by itself or with cheese and fresh fruit.
