Spring Ephemeral

This week's wine features Smock Shop's 2022 'Spring Ephemeral' from Hiyu Wine Farm. 

Every now and then, a bottle shows up that feels like a soft whisper from the earth—fleeting, floral, and full of quiet magic. Light on its feet but not lacking in depth, this wine hits with delicate orchard blossoms, a hint of wild herbs, and a crisp minerality that makes you pause between sips. It’s the kind of wine you drink barefoot on a porch, post-shower, robe still on, soundtrack queued up. It smells like rain after sun. Tastes like you're falling in love again. This wine doesn’t shout. It glows. Chill it, sip it slow, and savor it.
