Donkey & Goat If Then White Blend, California, USA 2023

This wine offers notes of golden delicious apple, Asian pear, lemon pith, and citrus blossom, with hints of beeswax and chamomile. On the palate, a round textured mouthfeel is balanced by lively acidity.

We call these wines IF / THEN due to the rubber hitting the road truth of all winemaking and natural winemaking in particular. Just like a chef has to pivot based on what they found at the market that morning, winemakers pivot every vintage based on what mother nature delivers. IF a late set and rains coming THEN we pick prior to perfect everything and still make delicious wine after blending, perhaps stirring the lees, maybe an extended maceration or a skinny dip style. Everyday Tracey & Connor face IF / THEN scenarios.

Chardonnay, Vermentino, Pinot Gris, Pinot Meunier, Roussanne, Sauvignon Blanc and Grenache Blanc.
