Growing Conditions
Vineyard: Conner Lee
Gård Vintners is 100% estate grown sustainably at Lawrence Vineyards in the Royal Slope AVA. Lawrence Vineyards features seven distinct vineyard sites with elevations ranging 930 feet to 1,675 feet. The combination of elevation and south-facing slope provides a great framework for grape production, while the diversity of the seven locations delivers a high level of complexity to Gård wines. Lawrence Vineyards is certified sustainable.
Nose
Grapefruit, sweet lime, white flowers, and honeysuckle. Swirling brings intense notes of caramelized pineapple, key lime pie, marzipan, nutmeg, floral oil, and citrus peel.
Palate
The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied, with silky texture and outstanding acidity. Tons of citrus flavors mixed with brioche, butterscotch, and hints of sweet oak spice. Extremely layered with remarkable freshness, the wine finishes long, with a kiss of sweetness and a floral touch. Beautiful now, you can store this Muscadelle for the next 10 years.
Aging
Barrel fermented and aged in new and neutral 500L puncheons for 16 months.
