Frederich-- First Born
2015 Gewürztraminer
Los Carneros
This rare expression of Napa Valley winemaking is one of only 60 bottles that will ever be made. Think of it as a bit of Napa Valley history in your cellar and celebrated in a glass with friends and family. Your Premiere Napa Valley Gewürztraminer is uniquely dry, complex and refreshing with wonderfully expressive aromatics of golden apple, lemon zest, lychee and pineapple upside-down cake. Its fresh and lively acidity balances a soft, full body and long finish. Your wine was whole cluster pressed, grown in the cooler Los Carneros nested appellation and is one of Napa Valley’s few Gewürztraminers.
