Iruai Winery, formerly known as Methode Sauvage, is based in the California Alps and is known for its innovative approach to winemaking. Inspired by the white wines of the Jura and Savoie regions of the French Alps, this blend comes from high-elevation sites in the Shasta-Cascade regions of the Trinity Alps and Oregon's Siskiyou Wilderness.

TASTING NOTES: Aromas of dried flowers and brush are framed by electric acidity, almond, and citrus—imagine dropping a Ricola into a margarita and setting off in a canoe.

FOOD PAIRINGS: Pairs well with pork belly, Thai and Indian spice dishes, and Spanish rice.
