Christoper: Hello, good people.
Beginning of September. Harvest is fast approaching and we’re sending you a new Wine Club shipment. So wanted to just give you a quick little intro to the two new wines that are coming your way.
First, we have the 2017 Research Bianco. Wow, super excited about this wine. Awesome, aromatic, tropical, stone fruit, tree fruit, really beautiful, skin-fermented white. Golden orange color, but really attractive, pronounced aroma so super gorgeous.
29% Tocai Friulano, 26% Sauvignon Blanc, 13% Chardonnay, 10% Gruner Veltliner, 9% Albarino, 5% Auxerrois, 2% Gewurztraminer, 2% Semillon, 2% Aligote and 2% Malvasia. Field blend of grapes grown at the Research Vineyard. Like the Research Cab, this is our grayscale partner, all the whites go into this. And skin-fermented ambiently, small 1-ton bins, 11 months in older oak. And just gorgeous.
Roast chicken, pork chops, charcuterie boards, fondue, grilled fish, really so many things to match. Oh! Great texture! You know, I mean, there’s some, a little bit of structure from the skin-fermentation but really beautiful, silky, kind of satiny textures, and like the dried apricot fruit, and pineapple and roasted pear, just super delicious.
Really hope you guys enjoy this one, 2017 Research Bianco - not a lot made so one of these special things. Only the third vintage of this wine for the Wine Club. So hope you guys love it as much as we do. Cheers.
