"A beautiful, lean, and crystalline white from a 5-acre parcel of 25-30-year-old Orange Muscat growing in California's Amador County. Pretty orange blossoms intermix with honeysuckle and lychee. Has excellent grip and tension, as opposed to any lusciousness. Mineral-driven and refreshing, Crafted by winemaker Joe Shebl, known for his Renwood Zinfandels and sourced from the Bell Road vineyard in Amador County on the Renwood Ranch, aged 70% in stainless steel and 30% in new French oak puncheons."
Winemaker Notes:
"The color is palest white gold with flashes of yellow. The nose is vibrant and alive, with honeydew melon, spices and flowers, Meyer lemon and lime green citrus notes. It is kinetic in the mouth, both drinkable and so savory. There’s a sense of sweet fruit, but this wine is utterly bone dry. The finish is gorgeous – clean, long, and fresh. It is the freshness that reminds you of young Portuguese whites, Sardinian Vermentino, Greek carafe wines, or even Roman Frascati – but it takes a more serious complex turn on the finish."
Alcohol: 12%
