This blend is comprised of 54% Pinot Gris, 26% Viognier, and 20% Chardonnay. Each varietal was harvested at optimal maturity, gently pressed, and fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks to maintain freshness and varietal characteristics...
Notes of pineapples, lime juice and guava fruit fill the glass. Delicate flavors of grapefruit, sweet pears and honeydew melons envelop the palate finishing with secondary flavors of bright citrus and a hint of banana. The wine’s brisk yet balanced acidity leaves a vibrant finish that creates a long, clean, and crisp mouthfeel. Enjoy now through 2026. Each varietal for this blend was harvested at optimal maturity, gently pressed, and fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks to maintain freshness and varietal characteristics. The temperatures of fermentation ranged from 58-62 degrees, and the average length of fermentation lasted about 25 days. These cooler ferments helped us achieve beautiful exotic fruit aromas and a clean, crisp finish. After fermentation, each varietal had the wine’s lees stirred back into the wine once every two weeks for up to three months. This process helped naturally soften the wine, enhance the texture, and create a rounder mouthfeel. When creating this 2020 blend, we wanted each varietal to play a special role in this blend to provide complexity and an overall easy drinking wine.
