Palate
Subtle on the nose with rose, apricot, and lychee. The rich palate is balanced with lively acidity and beautiful flavors of honeysuckle, cardamom, and lychee with a long exotic finish. Hints of green tea and ginger. This wine is medium plus bodied with medium acidity. Pairs well with spicy and aromatic ingredients. Semi-Dry.
Growing Conditions
Winter of 2021 gave us some surprisingly warm days and just enough snow to be protective when the temperatures dipped low. Early spring was lovely - sunny and mostly dry with undisturbed flowering and fruit set. Beginning in June, the summer rains arrived and persisted through August. Once into September and more so in October, we were blessed with warm and dry weather, allowing us to round out our harvest season in good conditions. The abundant moisture during the summer months resulted in a smaller crop but yielded very fruit-driven and expressive reds and sparkling and bright and refreshing whites and rosés.
