Gewurztraminer
California winemaking is experiencing an astounding period of innovation, from sustainable farming to the success of old-world varietals in the state’s unique climates. In that spirit, we're excited to bring you this Gewurztraminer, a European white that has found a new home at a 100% organic Mendocino winery. Erste While is the perfect introduction to Gewurztraminer, an aromatic variety filled with delicate floral notes of honeysuckle and rose petals while still maintaining the dry character that makes this wine so crisp and refreshing.
This unbelievable wine was awarded not only a gold medal, but was also voted Gewurztraminer of the year at the 2017 New York International Wine Competition!

WINE REGION:
![Outline of Mendocino County](https://images.firstleaf.com/taxons/1851/normal/California_North_Coast.png?1616011073)
Mendocino County
One of the unsung regions of the North Coast, Mendocino County enjoys some of California's finest cool-climate terroirs. Lying north of Sonoma, it is home to 12 separate AVAs, spread through sleepy valleys and long, rugged coastlines—much of which exudes a rustic, laid-back feel. Mendocino delights fans of top-quality Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and sparkling wine, but there is also plenty of fine Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel and Syrah made in its warmer sites too. Mendocino is also famous for its high number of organic-certified vineyards, reflecting the general "off-grid" hippie nature of its winemaking pioneers.
