The people behind Forlorn Hope Wines care deeply about the tale of the underdog, the longshot, the person or thing written off as hopeless. The name Forlorn Hope comes from the Dutch phrase "verloren hoop," which translates to "lost troop," and was given to the group of men who volunteered to lead the attack straight into enemy lines. There was never much hope that the Forlorn Hope would succeed, but the fame and riches promised to those who made it meant that there was never a shortage of applicants. The richness, complexity, and multilayered nature of this site's diversity keeps unfolding.
It has heft, depth, minerality, and subtlety. Aromas of almond croissant, ginger, sea spray, and a bone-dry finish accompany a nose of bright, sunny yellow flowers and sea spray. Complex in flavor and totally unique.
