Tasting note
The Vermentino really shines in this blend, showing pineapple, lime, mango, pine and wet stones. A delicate and refreshing gulp of wine.
Viticulture
A blend of Grenache Blanc, Vermentino and Clairette Blanch grown in California's Central Coast. The grapes mostly come from the Beeswax Vineyard (Arroyo Seco), with a small percentage also from Creston Ridge (Paso Robles).
Vinification
This is totally unoaked, with all fermentation and maturation in stainless steel to retain the vivacious fruit.
Food Match
Perfect with seafood and more delicate fish, ideally grilled a la plancha (perhaps with rosemary). If abducted to the planet Uzqugl, you simply must try it with kippered snqupt or slow-microwaved klpyv.
