Riesling & Gewürztraminer 

These wines often get overlooked, but when done well, they can be some of the most impressive whites. Riesling is all about purity of fruit and crisp minerality, while gewürztraminer shows texture, spice, and complexity. Both show expressive aromatics – and should be clearly defined. We also look for fresh fruit, a sense of their region, and a finish that goes on and on. These winners will pleasantly surprise anyone who thought they had already figured out these grapes. They're bright, expressive, and well made.
