Donkey & Goat
The Gadabout California White Blend
I really wanted to love this and I did enjoy the flavors. However... there was far too much fizz for a still wine that I just couldn’t overlook. I assume re-fermentation but perhaps one of you has a better idea? Once the fizz died down it had a lovely creamy mouthfeel.

Aug 11th, 2019Initially comes across very autolytic...seems to be some lactobacillus too. Wild wine. The roussanne seems prominent. An interesting wine but not as good as other Donkey & Goat wines I’ve had.

1 person found it helpfulMay 14th, 2019Hazy wine! White gold in color, with yellow pear, ripe, fleshy nectarine, and subtle ginger on the nose. Palate is chewy, with candied, and ripe tropical fruit. Hints of spice, roasted almond, red apple skin, acid, and all natural funk round it out well. Take some time and enjoy this one!

Jul 7th, 2017Peaches, almonds, beeswax, touch of caramel on the nose. Tropical palate, broad and bit creamy. Seems like it's gone through malo. Hazy and unfiltered.
