Field Blend, Calaveras County, USA
An elegantly aromatic, and ruling queen of amber and our nostrils. For the first time in a looong time, welcome back to GW’s Northern California star, Forlorn Hope! Working their sprawling 80-acre, high elevation plot in the Sierra Foothills winemaker Matthew Rorick's focus is on grapes that pay tribute to the state’s eclectic and often unexpected winemaking heritage. From the organic Rorick Heritage Vineyard, with layers of schist over dolomite-rich limestone, the blend of grassy verdelho, waxy albariño, aromatic muscat, and mineral-rich chardonnay are fermented partially destemmed, partially whole cluster and see one daily punchdown to minimize the juice’s oxygen contact and extract hoppy tannins. PLUS! A few experimental additions, including citric vermentino fermented in concrete egg (left sealed and untouched for four months), and more musky muscat fermented carbonically bring the aromatics to stupefying new heights. Golden raisins, pale ale hoppy tannins, twigs tossed in butter & sour grapefruit segments like pawns on a chessboard, with fresh rain puddle, burnt green tea & creeping minerality. Enjoy with jalapeño poppers and tabasco wings.

We don't know if you've heard this, but Canada is a truly WILD place to import wine. Each province is it's own country with super strict rules. For ages, so much of the very best natural wine never made it into the province. That is changing in such an exciting way. We started our own import company to bring you some of our very favourite wines from around the world at the sharpest prices - this allows us to travel, fall in love with a wine, and bring right to your doorstep without a middle person. Put simply, as the importer, we shave one layer off the supply chain. We offer these sweet wholesale discounts when you bundle. From 1, 3 to 6 packs you'll find serious savings. The GWI sticker - Grape Witch Imports - means not only that we strongly stand behind the producer, it also means you won't find a better deal anywhere else in town. It also allows us to source many wines just for the shop - you'll find Ontario exclusives marked GWIE - Grape Witch Import Exclusive. Are you a licensee or producer looking to join our imports roster? Send us an email at hello@grapewitchimports.com
