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.
This is a very small production wine crafted from one vineyard, Sanford & Benedict Vineyard, located in Sta. Rita Hills. This is a highly allocated wine and will likely be sold out before we release it after bottling.
Before these highly coveted wines hits the shelves, Doug would like to offer the opportunity to lock down an allocation by paying for it in advance. Purchase your order today, we will notify you when it is available to be picked up or shipped.
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.
