Forlorn Hope Queen of Sierra Amber Calaveras County 2023

Muscat/Chardonnay/Vermentino, fermented on the skins. "Orange" wine. Made entirely of organically farmed fruit (Verdelho! Muscat! Albariño! Riesling! Chardonnay!) from Matthew Rorick’s limestone-driven, all organic estate high up in the Sierra Foothills--this is somehow as adventurous as it is serious. With its notes of dried stone fruit, spiced pears, pink grapefruit, white tea and more, this is a food pairing dream wine (Indian food all day and all night, but also with turmeric-pineapple laced pork chops!)
