ABOUT THIS WINE
The Bagumita Gewürztraminer 2023 is a white wine produced in the North Fork of Long Island, New York. Bagumita's 'Classic' wines are their flagship offerings, aiming for consistency and elegance by balancing structure, freshness, texture, length, complexity, and finesse. The North Fork region, with nearly five decades of wine-growing history, is known for its diverse climates and soils. The 2023 growing season was marked by challenging weather patterns, including a warm spring, cold and dry periods, and substantial summer rainfall. Despite these conditions, interspersed dry spells aided grape development and flavor concentration, leading to wines described as lithe and graceful. The vineyard block for this wine was planted in 2007 and comprises 0.75 acres.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Bagumita Gewürztraminer 2023 was produced using whole-cluster pressing, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The wine underwent a 10-month aging period in stainless steel drums, resting on light lees. This method of winemaking aims to preserve the varietal's aromatic profile and contribute to its texture. The grapes were harvested on September 20, 2023. The producer's philosophy for their 'Classic' wines is to achieve a consistent and elegant style with a balanced profile.
