The 2023 The New Chapter is a blend of 70% Gewurztraminer with 30% Pinot Gris. It macerated for ten days on skins, then aged for nine months on steel and was bottled with a dash of Sylvaner to soften the phenolics and without any addition of sulfur dioxide. This is bright orange and alive with the lychee and rose aromas of Gewurztraminer on the nose. Its perfumed nature continues on the palate, where this is fused with a smooth, firm phenolic frame and supple freshness. The lychee fruit note is front and center, bound with lemony freshness, while the finish is bone dry.(AK)
