Finca Río Negro Gewürztraminer 2017

The unusual white 2017 Gewurztraminer has the classical varietal aromas of carnation and exotic fruit with a dry palate that ends in a bittersweet and long finish. It would be great with spicy Asian cuisine. It has to be one of the finest (and very few) Gewurztraminer wines produced in Spain. 28,000 bottles. It was bottled in May 2018.

It might seem like a strange idea to make a dry gewürztraminer in the middle of Spain, but this works very well. Lovely floral aromas including some yellow rose, then a supple and juicy palate. Clean finish with almost none of the bitterness that can be a problem with this grape. Drink now or in 2019.
