The As If Wines Gift Set includes one white blend, an orange skin-ferment, and red blend.
This deeply personal brand was founded when co-founder and winemaker Alie Shaper relocated from Brooklyn to the North Fork and began a new life chapter. Making wine has been an impetus for self-discovery, and this series is a meditation on all life’s possibilities, especially when one opens herself up to new experiences and change. These premium wines realize the highest potential of North Fork fruit, each of which are monikers for the virtues we carry through life’s journey: Spark, Change, and Hope.
In This Set:
2022 AS IF "Spark" (red blend): The Cabernet Franc-Merlot bled is medium in body with quaffable smooth tannins, and bursting with flavors of mulberry, goji berry, juicy plums, cherry liqueur, and espresso.
2022 AS IF "Change" (orange): "Change" has expressive botanical notes, and is silky on the tongue, giving it a round mouthfeel, but is animated with dark citrus and moody spices. At first whiff, amaro-like orange bitters, pink rose, and peach skin. Notes of blood orange marmalade and ginger burst on the tongue, along with mellow almond and elderflower
2022 AS IF "Hope" (white blend): This Pinot Gris, Riesling, and Gewürztraminer white blend is bone dry, crisp, lip-smacking, and delicately fruity. Candied pineapple, prickly pear, and honeysuckle greet the nose. On the palate—a bouquet of key lime, grapefruit, starfruit, and pear, with a lingering textural citrus finish.
