2024 Heritage Series Orange Muscat

Don Mercer cultivated this grape at his Mercer Ranch Vineyard, now known as Champoux Vineyard. This Orange Muscat wine evokes cherished memories for many Mercer family members, who recall its sweet charm. We are proud to reintroduce this distinctive wine as the inaugural release in our newly launched Horse Heaven Hills Heritage Series.

Fragrant aromas of orange blossom, ripe apricot, and pear lead into a medium-bodied palate with a silky, viscous texture and vibrant acidity. Layers of wild strawberry and a hint of ginger unfold, adding depth and character. The finish is fruit-driven, beautifully balanced, and lingers with elegance. This wine is a natural pairing with Mercer Ranch almonds, almond croissants, shortbread cookies, and almond biscotti - anything that highlights the nutty, butteriness of the wine.
