Buttery yellow apple aromas are highlighted by a delicate honeysuckle note. Much richer on the palate, with thick apple and lemon taking the show up front, all supported by a creamy lemon and toast streak running through the finish with a vanilla accent.
Aged in 100% French oak, of which 20-25% is new.

Bright lemon core with a clear rim. Youthful aromas of fresh lemon, grapefruit, pineapple and sweet orange blossom surrounded by a touch of smoky minerality. Dry and clean on the palate with lots of ripe pear and lemon followed by a streak of minerality and a touch of smoke on the finish.
Affordable enough to bring out when you have guests over and sure to make an impact. Far from your typical buttery Chardonnay or herbal Sauvignon Blanc, this is fresh, bright, youthful and easy to drink. A blend of 65% Ugni Blanc, 30% Colombard and 5% Gros Manseng grapes. A true value coming out of Southwest France. If you bring this out for guests, make sure you have several bottles chilling - nobody will stop after just one glass.

Pale lemon-green core with a bright, clear rim. Fresh aromas of pink grapefruit, lime zest, starfruit and a hint of fresh lemon grass. Very crisp and clean on the palate with ripe lime, lemon and grapefruit and a hit of tropical lychee fruit. Nice acid with a clean, refreshing finish.
A killer value Sauvignon Blanc with everything you’d expect: fresh citrus fruits, hints of herbs and very refreshing. Sure to please any white wine drinker, and great for a hot day (or swigging while slaving in front of a hot grill). Works perfectly with grilled fish, chicken or pastas with cream sauce. A rare California value!

Pale lemon green in the glass. Ripe young apricot aromas with very fresh and light notes of lime, wet stone and cantaloupe. Nice sweet burst on the front of the palate that is quickly backed by great acid and a tart lemon rush. Very crisp with just a hint of sparkle showing how young it is. Nice minerality through to the finish with lots of sweet and sour lemon/lime.
If you’re not familiar with German Rieslings, go grab a bottle of this immediately and see what you’re missing. It’s the perfect pairing for Thanksgiving foods. Just a hint of sweetness to the wine works perfectly with the rich and sweet cranberry sauce, turkey, mashed potatoes, et al. It’s important to note that this is not a heavy, sweet wine. The light sweetness on the front of the mouth is quickly balanced by acid, and this is a very crisp, refreshing and delicious wine.
