Gewürztraminer is Navarro's flagship grape and each year our first picking of this aromatic grape is destined for our juices. Gewürztraminer's spicy aromatics make it a particularly fun grape to share with youngsters, or oldsters, or anyone who wants to avoid alcohol. It is bottled in a traditional wine bottle with a cork finish, so you can use a wine cork screw to open the bottle with a flourish. The grape juice is overtly floral with seductive tropical flavors that make it delicious drunk straight, over ice, or mixed with sparkling water. We even freeze it for "gewürz-ickles" as a treat for our own grandkids.

Within a couple of hours of picking, the grapes are de-stemmed, pressed and then the juice is quickly racked to a refrigerated stainless steel tank to cool. After reaching 33°F, the juice is then filtered to prevent fermentation; the flavors in the bottle are the same as the grapes on the vine.
