Winemaker Notes
With original plantings of Gewürztraminer dating back to 1974, Foris is a steward to some of the oldest Gewürztraminer vineyards in Oregon. Gewurztraminer can be a fickle grape to grow and to capture the exotic spice and perfume that is imbedded in the vibrant pink berries as it is transformed into wine. A combination of whole cluster pressing along with some lots that receive about twelve hours of skin contact allow us to extract these elusive flavors and aromas while avoiding bitterness that can be characteristic of the variety. This is especially true when
producing a dry style of Gewürztraminer, for which Foris is renowned. Aromas of rose petal and citrus blossom frame flavors of pineapple, nectarine and quince, tailing off with subtle spices of cardamom and nutmeg.
