2016 Winderlea Meredith Mitchell Pinot blanc
205 cases produced
The 2016 Pinot blanc is our third release from our newest estate vineyard in the McMinnville AVA. The wine is aged and fermented in a combination of two types of vessels: neutral oak and a traditional clay amphora. Showing distinct aromatics of honeydew melon, grapefruit and wet concrete, this wine is lithe and textured on the palate with creamy softness balancing bright acidity. Lime zest, pineapple and guava complement the more subtle flavors of fresh thyme and dried herbs.
