The Gewürtztraminer is welcoming with a fruit-laden nose of honeyed pear, peach blossom, and apricot. This luscious profile is swept away by a cutting acidity to the palate with granny smith apple and lemon rind, making the mouth water. The finish leaves tingling on the tip of the tongue with unripe kiwi and tart pomelo citrus.
Cristina Gonzales is the granddaughter of migrant farm workers who moved to Wisconsin to pick cherries in search of a better life. She gained experience as a winemaker by jumping in headfirst and learning as she went—even when atop a forklift.
Cristina lives in Portland with her son Julian and their blue heeler, Bean.
In addition to being a winemaker, Cristina also serves on the Board of Directors of AHIVOY , the Oregon Wine Board, and is the co-founder of Community Wine Bar.
