Masquerade, Gewurztraminer (2011)

Columbia Valley, Washington State, USA
A Dry White wine known for its flavors of Citrus fruits, Pear, Spices, Lychees, aromas of Rose and light spices. Light body and mouth feel. Bright acids make this wine refreshing and enhance the citrus and fruity nature of the wine. Lighter than most Gewürztraminer wines with mild sweetness makes this wine versatile for many foods. This wine was aged in Neutral French Oak barrels

Food pairings with shrimp, crab, lobster or scallops would be idea. Also pairs well with lighter spiced Asian foods. Pairing with Indian or Thai foods such as curry dishes bring a balance that enhances the flavors of spice and acidity of the wine.

Chocolate Pairing with Lemon Basil ganache in a dark chocolate or Lemon ganache in Milk Chocolate. Our Oregon grown Hazelnut Paste in Dark Chocolate shell brings a balance with this wine enhancing favors for both the wine and chocolate.

Overall a refreshing wine best enjoyed with food, and of course chocolate.
