The Region: Located in the heart of California’s Central Valley, the Lodi region has a long history of producing high quality and diverse wines. Blessed with a classic Mediterranean climate of warm, sunny days and cool nights and benefitting from cool breezes blowing inland from the San Francisco Bay area-a climate that helps lend grapes a refreshing natural acidity. The mineral rich, sandy soils and dry growing season allow growers to precisely manage vine growth through irrigation, create optimal growing conditions for producing ripe and vibrant fruit with concentrated flavours. The climate allows the Pinot Grigio to retain its bright fresh character while the Gewürztraminer develops intense aromatics, showing these grape varietals are a true match to this region.
The Wine: Meet the intriguing blend that marries the freshness of Pinot Grigio with the rich aromatics of Gewürztraminer. This wine starts with zesty citrus, lychee and honeyberry on the nose, followed by green apple, sweet tropical fruit, and delicate floral notes on the palate. The Gewürztraminer adds a subtle spicy note that brings complexity to this fruit forward blend while the Pinot Grigio keeps the wine fun and fresh. All together, this wine delivers a clean, crisp taste with bright acidity and a long lingering finish that excites the senses.
