Winemaker Notes:
"This is a really beautiful, elegant, and balanced wine but which also shows how wine can vary in different serving conditions. Since most whites are "chilled" in a refrigerator (which is usually 38 degrees), that is usually too cold to fully experience the aromas flavors of most wines and that is especially true with this Pinot Blanc. Interestingly enough, "cellar temperature" of around 55 degrees is probably about perfect. At that temperature there are elegant aromas of camellias, white flowers, and hints of caramel from the barriques. Flavors include lemon compote, mild apples, and hints of grapefruit and lychee. This is medium bodied with perfect balance and acidity along with a long lingering finish."
Alcohol: 13%
