Winemaking
Pinot Blanc is a varietal that needs to mature a bit longer on the vine than Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. After that extended maturation, we give the juice time to cool ferment in stainless steel tanks. This process keeps the active fermentation from blowing delicate aromatics into the atmosphere. Then, after the yeasts have done their job, we mix the wine to resuspend any grapes solids that can be useful in aging, and also barrel a portion of the overall blend down into a mixture of new and used French Oak and Acacia barrels. This touch of barrel aging develops texture and palette roundness.
Food Pairing
Our 2014 Pinot Blanc is a fresh, tropical wine that pairs well with most anything from salty, hard cheeses to sushi and Thai cuisine.
