Peak Cellars Broken Granite Gewürztraminer 2023

Lake Country, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaBlock 12 is home to the oldest Gewürztraminer vines at Carr's Landing. The vines grow over broken granite that retains very little moisture, producing a more concentrated wine in the Alsace vein. It is fermented in a combination of older oak and stainless steel, resulting in a drier, richer style than most Gewürztraminer you'll encounter in BC. Extra skin contact adds spicy, floral notes to its intense lychee finish, with a rich, almost sweet Alsace character. It's an impressive wine for the dinner table, especially with turkey, which pairs well with its rich, flavourful finish.Tasted: 19 September 2026Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
