2023 Blanc de Gnar
This has to be one of the all time coolest wines we’ve ever made. Grown, picked, made, and bottled 100% by our hands. This wine comes from a vineyard we farm organically, on a private ranch near Gaviota, CA. We have been asked constantly over the years to make some white wine, so this was our way of delivering that to you. It is so rewarding to grow fruit yourself and turn it into wine.
This is a Pinot Noir Blanc, or “Blanc de Noir”. A white wine made from black grapes. Picked fresh and put directly into the press, then fermented in stainless steel without skins, so that there is no extraction of color. This is not a Pinot Blanc (that’s a completely different grape variety). During fermentation, it smelled like runts candy and orange zest. Now that it has spent some time in barrel, it smells and tastes like Earl Grey Tea, with notes of white pepper and dried pineapple. Fermented completely dry, this wine is a smash with all things seafood or spring pasta dishes with oil and butter based sauces. Delight your senses and surprise your dinner guests with this unique, limited new offering.
