•WINEMAKING•
The wine reflects an artist’s pallet of various varietals that each contributes a unique flavor component to the finished blend. The base of the blend is Chardonnay, Pinot Gris and Sauvignon Blanc: Chardonnay provides crisp apple and pear flavors; Sauvignon Blanc provides zesty citrus flavors and an aromatic, floral component; Pinot Gris provides richness and body. A dash of other varietals were added for
additional complexity and nuance.
