2023 Three Witches
Buy any 5, Get 6 = $24/b
Three Witches is a dry, white, old-world blend of three grapes. It’s made with Sauvignon Blanc; a green-skinned grape nicknamed “wild white” for its appetizingly crisp character, Gewurztraminer; a pink-skinned grape which lifts tropical fruit, floral aromatics and a slight oiliness on the palate and dry Riesling, a green-skinned grape with pronounced aromatics and food-friendliness. This wine is crisp enough for the patio, smooth enough for a cocktail party and dry enough for a dinner wine, making it an engaging, versatile crowd pleaser.

Winemaker’s Notes
These late-budding and early-ripening varietals excel in our cooler climate and these three components create a balanced, versatile wine with 40% or Sauvignon Blanc and Gewurztraminer with 20% of Sémillon. Sauvignon Blanc brings great acid balance with its green notes, the Gewurztraminer brings a spicy edge with it sweet fruit and florals and the Semillon provides citrus and white-fleshed fruit with a rich character. Three Witches has seen a touch of wood for added complexity, since Sémillon has the body to hold up to a little oak treatment. This blend has great balance of richness and freshness – beautiful sipping wine and a match at the dinner table.
Tasting Notes
A bewitching harmony of citrus, green apple, peach, tropical fruit like papaya, and aromatic floral elements give way to a creaminess on the palate with a refreshingly balanced finish. Enjoy thyme, gooseberry and flinty mineral notes in a medium – light body wine with a zesty finish.
Pairing Notes
Try nut-based cheese as well as heart of hemp Morbier or aqua fava Brie. Fresh vegetables, yellow squash, parsnip, white beans, roasted cauliflower, marinated kale and fruit elements of lemons, oranges, peaches or apricots. Harmonizes with herb-driven or even vinegar based sauces, sweet fennel, asparagus and butternut squash soup. Risotto, pesto on pasta, taco verde, fried tofu, heart of palm and pasta salad are all great. Anything with a bit of oil or salt, so kettle chips are perfect.
