Introduction:
This is St. Supéry’s luscious Muscat Canelli from their Dollarhide Estate—a sweet white wine built on fragrance, freshness, and a polished profile. Ideal when you want something dessert-like that still offers elegance and lift rather than just sugar.

Terroir:
Grapes come from Dollarhide Ranch in Napa Valley, grown in sustainably farmed estate vineyards. The vines are harvested in cool morning hours to preserve delicate aromatics. The growing season for 2022 provided warm days and cool nights, with a late summer heat spike that nudged ripeness while retaining brightness.

Appearance:
Pale yellow with hints of green; luminous and clear in the glass with an inviting sweetness to the color tone.

Nose:
Floral white blossom, mandarin orange, and fresh apricot lead; there’s also honeysuckle and citrus blossom that add brightness and perfume.

Palate:
Opulent and sweet, yet balanced. Peach, ripe apricot, and honeysuckle flavors meld with citrus undertones and a touch of tangerine zest. The sweetness is tempered by crisp acidity which keeps it from feeling cloying.

Finish:
Refreshing and lingering, with residual sweetness lingering alongside citrus and stone fruit echoes. The floral notes reappear toward the close, giving a bright lift in the aftertaste.

Food Pairing Suggestions:

• Meat dish: Spiced Thai chicken with mango chutney or glazed foie gras toast

• Vegetarian option: Roasted peach salad with burrata and honey drizzle or a vanilla-poached pear with ricotta

• Cheese pairing: Blue cheese (like Roquefort) or creamy goat cheese to accentuate the wine’s sweetness and floral tones

Overall Impression:
The 2022 Dollarhide Estate Muscat Canelli is a beautifully fragrant sweet wine—richly perfumed with floral and stone fruit aromas, set off by citrus-zest and honeyed sweetness that never tips into heaviness. Its lively acidity and polished finish make it versatile enough to enjoy alongside desserts, strong cheeses, or even spicy dishes. A wine that shows how well Napa can do sweet without losing sophistication.
