This off dry blend of Gewurztraminer, Riesling, Chenin Blanc and Orange Muscat offers sweet guava and honeysuckle fruit flavors that will make your tongue want to dance.


Perfect as an aperitif. Try with most spicy dishes, particularly Asian or Indian food. Also pairs well with seafood and light pasta dishes.


The Clarksburg appellation is known for its unique microclimate. As the Sacramento Valley heats up during the day, it pulls in the cool maritime breeze from the bay, which allows warm summer days and cool evenings. This climate is ideal for growing many white varietals that are wonderfully aromatic with a crisp, fresh acidity. We take special care in all aspects of our grape growing from deficit irrigation, to precise pruning techniques, to handpicking at harvest.


Grapes were handpicked in the cool morning and gently pressed, whole cluster, in our new Diemme membrane tank press. The juice was then cold settled, racked and fermented cold, to capture the lush fruit character. After a long cold fermentation, the wine stopped fermenting, leaving a small amount of natural residual sugar. After clarification and cold stability, the wine was bottled in early spring to capture the fresh, juicy fruit character.
