2023 Bring Me Flowers
This version of our classic Gewurztraminer Riesling blend pairs the wine with a packet of dried edible flowers. Each bottle comes with ten flowers; we suggest adding two blooms to each glass. These flowers complement the wine’s natural floral aromatics and add a playful, sensory element to every pour.
Thanks to a mild 2022-23 winter, yields in 2023 were high and spring was warmer than usual, with some of the warmest weather of the year in May and early June. The summer that followed was characterized by an abundance of rain that led to a lack of heat and sun, thus slowing fruit development and increasing disease pressure. Luckily once September arrived, temperatures increased and the rains stopped, which ultimately saved the quality of the vintage. Although disease pressure had been mitigated, lack of ripeness from the summer rains still forced a later than usual harvest date for most varieties.
Bring Me Flowers is a playful, sensory twist on a Pillitteri classic. Each bottle of this beloved Gewurztraminer Riesling blend comes with a packet of ten dried edible flowers. Just add two blooms to each glass to enhance the wine’s already expressive floral aromatics. The delicate infusion adds a whimsical touch and elevates the experience, engaging both the palate and the senses. With the addition of the flowers, the nose, already bursting with lychee, pink grapefruit, honey, and ripe peach, becomes even more alive and layered with blossoms. The palate is a masterclass in balancing sweetness and acidity, offering just enough residual sugar for off-dry richness while maintaining a crisp, refreshing finish that’s endlessly versatile.
