2018 Petit Blanc

Winemaking Notes

Petit Blanc is a wine that is lithe but not light. It is fun and free of heavy-handed winemaking. No new oak, no malolactic fermentation, no battonage, no nonsense.  A wine that hits way above its weight and delivers a strong quality/price ratio. A wine that you can readily be opened on a weeknight and pair with a variety of cuisine without putting a dent in your wallet.

The 2020 vintage of this unique blend is Sauvignon Blanc, Muscat and Pinot Gris along with few other aromatic varieties like Marsanne and Roussanne are in the blend making the whole greater than the sum of its parts. Green Citrus fruit, gooseberries, currants and touch of tropical fruits greet you on the nose. While orchard fruits are tasted on the mid palate, the finish and the core of this wine is citrus and gooseberry dominant.

Pairing

Petit Blanc is extremely versatile with virtually endless pairings.

Meat-Based
It is the perfect wine for pan seared scallops with a rich burnt butter sauce on a Friday evening.

Plant-Based
A Frisee Salad with an orange vinaigrette & a cheese board on a sunny Sunday brunch as well.
