Story: The 2023 harvest gifted Alex and Veronica Neely some exceptional, late-ripening Gamay. Seizing the moment, they direct-pressed the fruit, embarking on an experiment that yielded a wildly unconventional white wine. This Gamay Blanc de Noir is a testament to their fearless approach and a pure expression of a unique vintage. From their hands to your glass, they hope you enjoy this "out of control" creation as much as they do.

Personality: Tropical fruits meets ocean breeze on the nose, the palate is a surprising journey, where the juicy sweetness of mango meets the savory tang of heirloom tomato and tamarind, all brightened by a lime zes, top that off with some creamy salinity, you’ve got one hell of a wine.

Harmony: Embrace the 'wine weirdo' spirit with equally fun food pairings for your poolside chill session. How about some Korean BBQ lettuce wraps, a vibrant poke bowl, or even a gourmet grilled cheese with a side of tomato soup for dipping? Or just skinny-dipping, poolside on a hot summer day.
