ABOUT THE WINE
This is our first estate grown wine which is a field blend of all the white grape varieties that we grow. It’s a dry white that is medium bodied, easy drinking but complex. You might be able to pick out some of the varieties but here is a list of grapes we used: Gewürztraminer, Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, Albariño, Auxerrois. The grapes were harvested on October 11th, 2023. Only 115 cases were produced.
