Sensory Description:

The 2024 Mothershucker Dry White opens with aromas of sea spray, salt air, wet sand, and coastal flowers layered alongside citrus zest and crisp orchard fruit. The palate is textured and lively, coating the tongue with flavors of lemon, white peach, green apple, and subtle tropical fruit while maintaining energetic acidity and mineral tension. Riesling contributes aromatic lift and freshness, Pinot Gris provides body and texture, and Sauvignon Blanc sharpens the blend with citrus-driven precision and herbal nuance. The finish is clean, saline, and refreshing, echoing cool ocean mist and the briny character that inspired the wine.
