A new addition to our BARDEN catalog… single vineyard Pinot Blanc from Sta. Rita Hills’ phenomenal La Encantada Vineyard. Stainless tank fermented in our 45-degree cold room and put through full malolactic fermentation. Barrel aged 10 months.
A balanced approach between fruit and minerality. There is an earthiness balanced with white pear, bready texture and a high-toned nerviness. Rich and expansive with good acidity and a long finish.
Color: Gold with green and yellow hues.
Aroma: Very aromatically complex with sweet slightly tropical fruits with layers of sweet butter, toast and cream.
A fourteen-barrel selection, our Sta. Rita Hills’ Pinot Noir is a wine that ages remarkably. Hand sorted with a percentage whole cluster. A combination of natural (wild) fermentation and Burgundian yeast isolates created for a complex wine, rich with fruit and spice. Aged in new, neutral, and one year old French Oak barrels.
