Country: US / Wirtz Vineyard Edelzwicker
Variety: White Blend Oregon
Winery: Big Table Farm / Willamette Valley
Edelzwicker is an Alsatian term meaning noble blend, and is applied to any blend of white wine grapes. Here, it is Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris and Riesling, capturing the floral aromatics and lightly oily mouthfeel of the former, along with the citrus and pear flavors from the latter two components. All in all it’s an aromatic, floral, broadly flavorful and distinctive white wine.
