Aromas of dried flowers and brush are framed by electric acidity, almond and citrus -- imagine dropping a Ricola (or a shot of Chartreuse) into a margarita and setting off in a canoe. Taste the Alps!

Truly unlike anywhere else in California, Western Siskiyou County feels like a cross between Switzerland and Montana, cut with a rain shadow from Mount Shasta that divides it starkly between high mountain prairie and dense alpine forests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinding ourselves in largely untested grape growing territory, with high elevations and a continental climate, we have turned Iruai into exploration and celebration of esoteric varieties that flourish in the Alps of Europe. While we work to grow our Western Siskiyou County estate projects, we purchase fruit and lease vineyards throughout the Shasta-Cascade, from the Trinity Alps of California to the Siskiyou Mountains of Southern Oregon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe seek to make wine with a sense of place by employing no additives and removing no character. Our goal in the vineyard is to let the vines thrive like they would in the wild, and in the cellar, to shepherd each ferment through its own natural development and evolution.\" - Chad Hinds\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Selection Massale","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49228381421820,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.winetroy.com\/products\/iruai-shasta-cascade-white-2025","provider":"Troy Wine Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
