Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
On the nose, a perfume of candied orange rind,
evening jasmine blossom, ripe Golden Nectar Asian
plum flesh and dried Noisette rose greets you. For
Carrie Mauritson, our Muscat’s exotic aromatics
transport her back to her childhood in Durban,
South Africa, where she first encountered the
intoxicating fragrance of lychee. Absolutely bone dry
and energetic, the flavors of this 2023 release are a
continuation of the spectacular aromas. Enjoy this
wine over the next 12-18 months with lighter and
spicy fare or while sharing a picnic with family and
friends!
Winemaker Notes
This is the fourth iteration of our beautifully
aromatic dry Muscat Blanc, showcasing one of the
oldest grape varietals in the world. We select the fruit
for this wine from just a few rows in one of our
family’s organically farmed vineyards in Lake
County, ferment the juice entirely in stainless steel
and forgo malolactic fermentation, preserving the
meticulous nuance of this grape.
