MORE ON THIS WINE
The goal of Sage Rat is to craft “unfussy wine for the people.” To that, we say, “heck yeah.” Washington natives Dusty and Whitney are fierce champions of the Yakima Valley and established Sage Rat to highlight the area’s rich historical legacy, diverse landscapes, and unique micro-climates. Dusty’s over 15 years of working in the Pacific Northwest results in an impressive resume, with stints at Antica Terra and Seven Hills, and a position as head winemaker at Gilbert Cellars. Envisioning crafting bottles of access and quaffability, the pair focus on making crisp, low-abv, everyday-drinking wines that are destined to be effortlessly popped and poured. Their fruit is sourced from local growers who practice sustainability in the vineyard and provide fair wages to their workers. The ‘Ratto Bianco’ is composed of 50% riesling, 25% pinot grigio, and 25% orange muscat that are co-fermented in stainless steel and then aged on their lees for 3 months. Zesty and energetic,the first sip feels like lime caviar is bursting on your tongue, offering a delightful texture and presence on the palate. Whispers of orange blossom, honeysuckle, and jasmine lend a soft florality to the nose that is both calming and enticing. Certified sustainable, low-intervention/natural wine, vegan.
