Muni Appetizer Aperitif

Appetizer is a refreshing, aromatic, sweet, and bitter Aperitif wine that’s perfect with a splash of Nowadays Pet Nat sparkling wine for a super spritz... or straight over ice. Our recipe is a riff off of something we found in a 1960’s book on California dessert, appetizer, and flavored wines. The base is a blend of Riesling ice wine that we made using our freezer, some Chenin Blanc, and Chardonnay. We added 24 different ingredients like orange peels, gentian root, and hibiscus flowers. The result is explosive orange zest, complex woody notes, refreshing bitterness that’s balanced with the right sweetness.
