Swick's new vintage of Only Zuul has aromas of rose petals, blood orange, and papaya and a medium-bodied palate with fresh acidity. This wine is always easily crushable on its own but we like to enjoy with dishes that have bigger and bolder flavors - perfect with Korean and Indian cuisine, or salmon with mango salsa. As an after dinner pairing think about a stinky cheese like Epoisses, Morbier, or Soumaintrain. Both grape varieties (Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer) were fermented seperately, but vinified the same way: macerated on the skins for 60 days before pressing and aging in a combination of neutral French oak and concrete eggs for ten months. This is a must try!
