This is a limited run production that produces less than 100 cases per year from grapes grown at Thompson Falls, Montana. Due to our short growing season in Montana, this wine is a very dry Gewurztraminer. Our 2006 Vintage was aged in stainless steel and has a crisp finish. Our 2007 Vintage was aged on American Oak for 16 months and has a softer oaky finish.

The first record of Gewurztraminer grapes is from around 1000 A.D. in the Italian village of Traminer. Gewurztraminer grapes did not receive widespread acceptance as a wine grape until they were grown in the French area of Alsace along the German border. "Gewurz" is the German word for spice. Traminer is the Italian village that first recorded growing them. Thus the name, "spice of Traminer" was born. Gewurztraminer grapes can produce dry wines to sweet wines and anything in between depending upon the climate where they were grown. Flathead Lake Winery specializes in making small-batch, handcrafted, unique wines from fruit grown or picked wild in Montana. These grapes were grown by Steve & Maureen Simonson on their second-generation family farm along the Clark Fork River near the town of Thompson Falls. This wine is crisp, clean, and has a long finish of tropical fruit. This wine is best served chilled and compliments both fish and fowl. It goes especially well with pheasant and fresh rainbow trout.
