Growing Conditions

Vineyard: Corfu Crossing

Gård Vintners is 100% estate grown sustainably at Lawrence Vineyards, featuring eight distinct vineyard sites in the Royal Slope AVA. With elevations that range 930 feet to 1,675 feet and primarily a south-facing slope, Lawrence Vineyards provides a great framework for grape production, while the diversity of each of the locations delivers a high level of complexity to Gård wines. We also farm vineyards on the Wahluke Slope and Conner Lee in the Columbia Valley. Lawrence Vineyards is certified sustainable.

Nose

Asian pear, raw honey, dried mango, and a touch of fennel and chamomile tea. Swirling brings citrus zest, baked apple, cumin seed, pineapple, and brioche.

Palate

The mouthfeel is mid-bodied and extremely layered, with a very unorthodox combination of tropical, stone, and tree fruits and hints of herbal and citrus flavors. With zero sulfite additives, the wine evolves beautifully in the glass. Round, with a perfect combination of sweet and savory, the wine finishes extremely mineral, with apple blossom, lime peel, and a touch of grip. A clean and technical representation of a Sans Soufre Wine that you can enjoy now or in the next 4 years.

Aging

Barrel fermented, full malolactic fermentation, aged in neutral 225L French oak for 6 months. Unfined and unfiltered.
