THE STORY: Orange Muscat is a fun grape that shows off the best qualities of Muscat with aromatics that are gracefully restrained and aren’t too overpowering. After a light footstomp to break up clusters and brief skin contact, we gently pressed the Orange Muscat into stainless tank to ferment on its native yeasts and develop and age for 7 months. California is one of the few places Orange Muscat is grown and is often presented in a sweeter style, however we choose to make ours dry and fresh. We first began working with Orange Muscat from Hartwick Vineyard in Lodi in 2022 and have loved how fresh it tastes. This year we added Chardonnay to add more lift and acidity to the release. The 2025 vintage of Got Grapes White delivers the best Got Grapes yet - beautiful aromatics, lifted yet precisely balanced. Most of all, refreshing. We hope you enjoy!
Got Grapes is our yearly reminder to tug on the thread of curiosity. Our inaugural Got Grapes was a red blend of Valdiguié and Chenin Blanc in 2017! We’ve embraced the opportunity ever since to have our Got Grapes label showcase blends and single varietals that we think will surprise and delight each vintage.
