2023 Hunterdon Mistral Blanc

Our Rhône white blend is always a great communicator of vintage. 2023 was not a classic vintage- ample rainfall in August and September delayed ripening. These three Rhône white grapes become incredibly expressive when they get fully ripe, and they can easily present as overripe. In a year like 2023, the fruit character is brighter/younger. It is uncanny how these grapes express the vintage. On the nose, lemon salt water taffy, paraffin wax, and orange blossom. The palate shows green apple, lime oil, and barely ripe pineapple. Floral, fresh, delicate, and pretty, this is a terrific entry into the annually produced Mistral Blanc.
