Quarry Road Gewurztraminer VQA, Tawse Winery 2014 - Case of 6 White Wine (102228)

Tawse has been producing single-vineyard Gewürztraminer from the Quarry vineyard since 2009. Planted on mixed limestone and clay soils, this estate vineyard is farmed organically and biodynamically and produces exceptionally fragrant Gewürztraminer. The moderately warm 2013 vintage led to slower ripening and exceptional varietal intensity in aromatic varietals. This is clearly evident on the nose of this fragrant Gewürztraminer, bursting with lychee and guava, as well as pretty notes of rose petals. On the palate, lively notes of marmalade, mandarin and fresh ginger make this aromatic wine extremely food-friendly. With its floral notes and hint of sweetness, Gewürztraminer is the perfect choice with spicy dishes, especially Asian cuisine. It would pair beautifully with teriyaki chicken, Korean BBQ ribs, shrimp tempura and avocado rolls or Peking duck!

About Tawse Winery

Winery of the Year - Canadian Wine Awards 2010

The Tawse Winery is nestled in the gentle slopes of our 32-acre vineyard located on the Vineland Double Bench of the Niagara Escarpment. In designing our facility we had three goals in mind. First, design a winery that uses the naturally sloping terrain to create a six level gravity flow processing facility. By using gravity, we gently handle our fruit and juice from pressing to bottling with minimum manipulation that can bruise or aerate the wine, releasing some of the intense bouquets and flavors. The philosophy behind creating the Tawse Winery was a blend in itself.

We passionately believed in practicing traditional artisanal winemaking techniques. We also believed that enhancing these techniques with state-of-the-art gravity-fed processing and natural geo-thermal energy would allow us to gently and skillfully process each varietal bringing out its individual nuances and characteristics without compromise.

So it became our mission to create an innovative, ecologically friendly winemaking facility and invite some of the most renowned winemaking expertise in the world, such as Pascal Marchand from Burgundy to help us with our goal of making some of the finest wines in Canada.

At Tawse we do not believe quality is something you can arrive at quickly. Crafting our wines takes more time, but the results are truly worth the wait. Today the Tawse Winery produces exceptional premium wines in very limited quantities. Thankfully our hard work has been appreciated, as many critics have graciously noted that Tawse is successfully creating some of the most outstanding wines in Ontario.
