White Hall Vineyards is a farm winery near historic Charlottesville, Virginia.

2007 Gewurtztraminer, White Hall Vineyards

Following harvest, our 2007 Gewurztraminer was cold soaked and pressed; the juice was then added to barrels and steel tanks for fermentation. This vintage of our Gewurztraminer was also made in an Alsatian style, but it is slightly sweeter than the 2006 vintage, making this a delightful compliment to Asian dishes and spicier foods, as well as a pleasant wine to enjoy on its own.
