Nose
This wine is aromatic and weighty, with inviting floral rose and melon aromas.
Palate
Its natural spiciness is accented by bright melon and grapefruit flavors. The weighty mouthfeel gives way to a clean, crisp spicy finish with a hint of lime.
Growing Conditions
The 2024 growing season commenced about 10 days ahead of schedule. But while a late freeze marred yields in 2023, we saw favorable conditions in late spring this time around, giving us a wide open window to ripen all varieties to peak flavor development.
Harvest
Continued nice weather brought harvest to our hands a full two weeks earlier than typical for early-ripening varieties, while later-ripening ones still received extended hangtime and were picked more than 60 days after our first batch of grapes came off the vine. All told, this vintage provided both quality and quantity -- a much-welcomed sight following the frost of 2023 and the drought of 2022.
Bottling
Bottled April 9, 2025, Stelvin closure.
Food Pairing
Enjoy with flavorful Asian meals or simple fish and chicken dishes.
