Creekside Winery
2008 Muscat/Sauvignon Blanc, Gewurztraminer
A highly regarded limited production late harvest blend of Muscat and other varietals. The Muscat was lightly pressed to preserve delicate aromatics. One barrel was permitted to undergo natural fermentation; the other was subjected to a bizarre yeast trial using a strain usually reserved for full bodied red wines. Following fermentation, the barrels were topped with “whatever” high quality 2008 vintage wines were available. Sauvignon Blanc was added to one barrel, Gewurztraminer to the other. Later, both barrels were blended together. (The Muscat is Muscat d’Alsace).THIS WINE IS NO LONGER PRODUCED (2021 INFORMATION)
