Forlorn Hope
Forlorn Hope loves a longshot. They love the outsiders, the lost causes, the people/projects/ideas that are abandoned as not having a chance in the world. Forlorn Hope loves the little guy because they’re all about tenacity and overcoming a challenge. Taken from the Dutch ‘verloren hoop’, meaning ‘lost troop’, Forlorn Hope was the name given to the band of soldiers who volunteered to lead the charge directly into enemy defenses. The chance of success for the Forlorn Hope was always slim, but the glory and rewards granted to survivors ensured no shortage of applicants. These bottles are their headlong rush into the breach. Rare creatures from the limestone slopes of Rorick Heritage Vineyard, these wines are their brave advance party, their pride and joy – their Forlorn Hope.
