BACK LABEL
The first record of Gewurztraminer grapes is from around 1000 A.D. in the Italian village of Traminer. Gewurztraminer grapes did not receive widespread acceptance as a wine grape until they were grown in the French area of Alsace along the German border.  "Gewurz" is the German word for spice. Traminer is the Italian village that first recorded growing them. Thus the name, "spice of Traminer" was born.  Gewurztraminer grapes can produce dry wines to sweet wines and anything in between depending upon the climate where they were grown. Flathead Lake Winery specializes in making small-batch, handcrafted, unique wines from fruit grown or picked wild in Montana. These grapes were grown by Steve & Maureen Simonson on their second-generation family farm along the Clark Fork River near the town of Thompson Falls. This was a limited run production that produced approximately 75 cases of wine. This wine is a light bodied, slightly dry wine that has an attractive pale amber tint and a bouquet of pineapple, pear, citrus and melons. These aromas are followed by spicy hints of tropical fruit and tangerine. This wine is crisp, clean, and has a long finish of tropical fruit. This wine is best served chilled and compliments both fish and fowl. It goes especially well with pheasant and fresh rainbow trout.
