2017 Dablon Estate White Blend

Tasting Notes: Invigorating aromas of cantaloupe, lemongrass and fresh morning mist gracefully intertwine with flavors of crisp green apples, melon, lemon balm, vibrant acid and a hint of nuttiness on the finish. 

Pairing Suggestions: Goat or Gouda cheese, light pasta dishes, shellfish, seafood or chicken

Retail Price: $ 27

Vintage Year: Other than a late spring frost that caused minimal damage in some areas, the growing season was great. A two-week long warm spell mid-September ripened grapes fast, leading to a cool and dry harvest.

Winemaking Methods: Handpicked grapes. Chardonnay portion was fermented in stainless steel, Pinot Gris portion was barrel fermented prior to blending. No malolactic fermentation. Fined, cold stabilized and filtered
