2023 Suzanne Elizabeth

A white wine blend named in honor of Chris's mother, Suzanne Elizabeth Shown (Stetson), who despite being legally blind, volunteered at her local elementary school and instructed reading lessons. An amazing wine named after an amazing woman! This is a blend of of Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Gewurztraminer and Muscat Blanc and despite your initial thoughts on reading all of that, is actually made in a dry style,with just a touch of residual sugar, to give the wine added fruit intensity and weight on the pallete. Our Gewurztraminer and Muscat Blanc plantings on the property are quite small, totaling just 1/5 of an acre and as such, are a small perctentage of this wine. However their aromatic profile jumps out of the glass making this as engaging on it's own as it is paired with food. Think grilled pork tenderloin with a peach chutney and basil or we could even see tuna tataki with a ginger ponzu sauce.
