2017 Petite Colline
Petite Colline, our Minnesota blend, is named after the hillside where these grapes are grown. There are 4 different grape varietals that were used in this year’s blend. Each lot of grapes is harvested and fermented separately, with the final blend coming together in early winter. Gently filtered prior to bottling, we bottle the wine in early January in order to preserve its bright and fresh nature.
In the glass, the wine exhibits notes of pineapple and wonderful nuances of candied citrus. In the mouth, the wine is fresh, crisp, light and citrusy. Get it ice cold and sip it all day long, especially on a warm summer day.
Pair this wine with pineapple upside-down cake, Chinese chicken salad or a light vegetable pasta in white wine sauce.
