About The Wine
Our 'White Cap' takes inspiration from the white wine blends traditionally produced in the Rhône Valley of France. Relying on Viognier’s aromatic
structure, balanced with Marsanne, Roussanne, and Grenache Blanc which bring their own big, juicy, fruit flavors and lively textures. Depending on
each harvest and growing season, the exact composition of our blend changes, but it is always built on a foundation of Grenache Blanc and Viognier.
All grapes were whole-cluster direct-pressed prior to a long, cool fermentation in a combination of stainless steel and neutral French oak barrels.
Each individual barrel was stirred daily, and malolactic fermentation was inhibited, which results in a crisp, lush wine. Lastly, the wine was barrel-aged
for 150 days in a combination of stainless steel and 100% neutral French oak barrels.
The AVA

Winemaker Notes
Floral aromas on the nose suggesting lemon verbena, orange blossom and honeycomb. Big fruitiness follows, reinforced by peach, pineapple, ginger, and tangerine, is followed by pleasant lemony oil acidity.
