Montinore – NV Borealis

From the winemaker:

Mouthwatering and multi-dimensional, this perennial crowd-pleaser is a blend of our favorite cool-climate whites: Müller-Thurgau (35%), Gewürztraminer (29%), Riesling (24%), and Pinot Gris (12%). Crafted from several harvests in order to display the unique qualities of each variety, heady scents of orange blossom, ripe honeydew, guava, and kiwi offer a vibrant introduction to this aromatic blend. The palate is sumptuous and round, bursting with stone fruit, Meyer lemon, and juicy pear drizzled with caramel. This plushness yields a clean, bright, and uplifting finish.

Extravaganza

This is a unicorn wine—100% Cinsault from Thunderstone Vineyard on the Royal Slope, barrel fermented with carbonic maceration. The aromas pop, with notes of plum, pomegranate, raspberry and lilac with a whiff of chocolate. It’s light on its feet with a very slight spritz, dancing with juicy fruit flavors. It’s an end-to-end, full-on charmer.
