This is the seventh release of Pinot Blanc. The grapes were purchased from the Dutton family and one of their oldest properties. This sustainable and dry-farmed vineyard has cool coastal air and moderate daytime temperatures which highlights the brightness of this European styled wine. The color is a light shade of straw with hints of green around the edges of the wine. This vintage is loaded with bright fruit flavors of grapefruit and pear and has a hint of minerals on the finish. The grapes were harvested by hand and immediately destemmed and sorted. The grapes were then gently pressed and racked into a stainless steel tank for fermentation. After primary fermentation completed it was racked into 3 – 75 gallon stainless steel barrels and one 55 gallon barrel for a partial malolactic fermentation. It then aged an additional 8 months in stainless steel then gently bottled. Due to the entire fermentation and ageing in stainless steel the wine is crisp and vibrant with a mouthwatering flavor.
