Wine Tasting NotesThe wine is a deep golden straw color, with a nose of dried apricot, spicy peach, with a touch of rose petal and honeysuckle. The crisp green apple, honeyed apricot and peach flavors meld with the traditional spicy flavors of Gewurztraminer. This medium-bodied wine's off dry style strikes the perfect balance between its sweetness and bright crisp acidity. A versatile wine, it pairs nicely with spicy Asian cooking as well as grilled chicken and fish. Read More
Twenty years ago, when Chardonnay was just becoming popular in this country, our first winemaker pioneered a crisp, fruit-forward Chardonnay that ran counter to the more heavily oak-influenced styles of the day. Named after the Sundial Ranch in Mendocino County, our new Chardonnay was a true California original. Twenty years, thousands of accolades, and millions of glasses later, Fetzers Sundial has helped define California Chardonnay as we know it and remains one of Americas top selling brands. Its this spirit of authenticity and self-expression that is part of our heritage and part of every bottle that Fetzer produces. Wine CALIFORNIA STILL WINE Read More
