HANNAH | CHENIN BLANC
MY LOVELY COUSIN - HANNAH
grew up on a farm in the hills of Pennsylvania. She was raised as a Mennonite amongst the earth, animals, and the music of nature. Always curious and pushing the boundaries of possibilities in life. What more existed outside the land she was bound to?
Hannah left home despite the traditional pressures to stay and traveled the world. She explored, laughed, cried, and most importantly... faced reality. Hannah was brave, bubbly, and curious. A dreamer with a beautiful connection to nature, that she graciously passed on to me.
Living with her every summer as a child implanted this love for farming and the simplicity of life. This wine is dedicated to Hannah.
