When Colleen Topper, Goosecross winery owner and in-house chef, decided to create a line of food-friendly wines to complement her extensive recipe database, she was thinking about the every-day cook and wanted to offer affordable wines for every-day enjoyment. The result is a special line of limited-production State Lane® wines.
Goosecross Winemaker, Geoff Gorsuch, collaborated with Colleen to locate the right grape sources to suit the concept and he carefully crafted a selection of wines that are fruit-forward, fun and easy on the pocket book.
Flavor profile: Vibrantly fruity and aromatic, it’s bursting with sweet orange blossom, honeysuckle, exotic lychee and fresh melon. An enticing sweetness accentuates the lush floral and tropical flavors, finishing with a mouthwatering kiss of citrus.
2007 Vintage: Textbook growing season yielding small, flavorful berries with outstanding balance
Food Suggestions
Petit Verdot is the ideal partner for a grilled hanger steak or roast prime rib of beef. From Colleen’s recipe collection we recommend Fruit Pizza.
