Donkey & Goat "IF / THEN" White Blend NV
This wine offers notes of golden delicious apple, Asian pear, lemon pith and citrus blossom, with hints of beeswax and chamomile. On the palate, a round textured mouthfeel is balanced by lively acidity.
This blend offers a snapshot of Donkey & Goat style and California as a whole rather than a specific vineyard. D&G harness all of their winemaking craft and blending creativity to create the most delicious wine possible that over-delivers for the price.
Donkey & Goat calls this wine "IF / THEN" due to the rubber hitting the road truth of all winemaking and natural winemaking in particular. Just like a chef has to pivot based on what they found at the market that morning, winemakers pivot every vintage based on what mother nature delivers. IF a late set and rain coming THEN we pick prior to perfect everything and still make delicious wine after blending, perhaps stirring the lees, maybe an extended maceration or a “skinny dip” style. Every day the winemakers Tracey & Connor face IF / THEN scenarios. Tracey also has a tech background from the last century (1990’s dot coms) which rests upon IF THEN statements for algorithms. And IF THEN statements speak to her ethos of always problem solving with a positivity lens. IF a roadblock appears, THEN find a joyful route full of creativity while taking care of our world and our humans, that ultimately produces a lip smacking delicious wine of character. That about sums up our philosophy at Donkey & Goat, and you can taste it in this lovely wine.
