La Sirena, Muscat Canelli "Azul" 2024 Napa, CA

Heidi Barrett's La Sirena presents their signature white wine, a rare dry expression of Muscat Canelli that has become legendary since its first vintage in 2003.

Tasting Notes

Extremely pale, almost clear white-gold in color with explosive aromatics that captivate from the first sniff. Bold tropical fruit aromas of lychee, pineapple, and guava mingle with delicate white peach, honeysuckle, and jasmine perfume. The palate is mouthfilling and lush, with flavors that perfectly match the aromatics - tropical fruits balanced by crisp, green-apple-like acidity. The wine finishes clean and dry with a touch of jasmine lingering, showcasing the noble character of this ancient Muscat variety.
