Where's It From?
Part of the fun of trying different wines is sampling the different varieties from across the world. If that's your goal, this Castoro Paso Robles Gewürztraminer answers the call.
Your initial thought based on seeing that it's a Gewürztraminer might be to think that it's German, but strangely enough, it's French. Yes, the area of France where it comes from is influenced by Germany, but still, it's French.
So, you're buying a French wine, right? Nope!
It's actually from Paso Robles, California, meaning it sounds German but is historically French but is actually American. But wait! Hold that thought. It also has a tropical mouth, and as far as we know California isn't considered tropical ... so maybe there's even more to this story than we're being told ...
Features
2010 Gewürztraminer, Paso Robles 750ml 6-Pack
With a touch of sweetness and tropical mouth feel, this wine is a real treat! This grape originates from France but carries a German name. Gewürztraminer is an outstanding wine found in the Alsace region of France. The area is heavily influenced by Germany in architecture, food and wine style.
These grapes have a beautiful golden hue when ripe. As in Alsace this wine has a touch of sweetness. The grapes are from the Castoro SIP Certified Hog Heaven Vineyard located near the winery. The aromas are full of jasmine and ginger notes with a lush and tropical mouth.

One of the oldest wineries in the Paso Robles AVA, Castoro Cellars is said to have taken the backwards approach to developing a brand. They began making wine in the early 1980s, and, over the course of the next ten years, bought equipment and opened a tasting room. The winery site was purchased in 1991, and within the past decade, existing vineyards were purchased and new vineyards planted.
