VINEYARD NOTES

A white Burgundian cousin to pinot noir, our Durell Vineyard Pinot Blanc is a coveted favorite amongst our supporters, but most of all by our Co-Founder and General Manager, Prema Kerollis. This pinot blanc consistently offers bright and refreshing qualities, perfect for all spring and summertime activities.

VINTAGE NOTES

The 2021 vintage began with a very dry winter making early irrigation in the vineyards necessary to counteract the lack of rain. With cooler weather around budbreak and flowering, we saw a fair amount of fluctuation in the timing and development of the grapes. This led to highly variable yields at harvest, which kept our winegrowing team on their toes. Harvest got underway on the last day of August and continued throughout September at a steady, methodical pace. Overall, the fruit was quite enticing, with medium to full body and particularly impressive tannin structures on the Pinots.

TASTING NOTES

The new vintage invites you in with charming floral notes, and confected almond gives way to a rich texture on your palate. The interplay of fresh saline and a subtle umami quality enriches the overall complexity. Rounding itself with minerality, leading to a lively lime pop on the finish.
