2022 Floral Pleasure, White Wine, California

Pure enchantment in a bottle, Floral Pleasure is arriving just in time for laying in fields of freshly blooming foliage and watching a long winter turn into a replenishing spring.

This aromatic and elegant blend of Riesling, Grüner Veltliner, and Gewürztraminer offers an all-encompassing, sensory journey with every sip. On the nose, the bouquet captivates right away with an array of subtle, and enticing floral aromas. Notes of orange blossom and honeysuckle are sprinkled with the freshness of newly grated lime zest. In the glass this wine displays a pale straw yellow, evoking the appearance of newly emerging daisies, primrose, and yellow dandelions. As you set up your picnic blanket and pour this in the sparkle of the spring sun, you'll already be under its spell before even taking a sip.

On the palate, this wine hits with a perfect balance of roundness and bright, clean elegance. Though a dry wine, the Gewürztraminer and Riesling present add a delicate sweetness, as if there was a subtle wild honey rinse in your glass. Grüner Vetliner adds that crisp acidity that keeps your lips smacking with delight and reaching for more. With a lightness that creates the illusion of your taste buds dancing on a cloud of intricate flavors, you can sip on this all afternoon as the sun begins to wind down and create whimsical shadows on the springtime blooms. As you drink, you'll notice notes of Meyer lemon, lime, beeswax, and minerality swirling on your palate. 

This wine could be paired with a plethora of different springtime dishes, but it would be stunning accompanied by a spring salad full of fresh herbs, a fresh stone fruit salad with shiso leaf, or a spring ramp and pea pesto with freshly made pasta. Too lazy for all of that? As always, feel free to simply pair the wine with the goods from your favorite taco truck (shrimp tacos preferred!).
