About This Wine

After blending the DVX each year, we set aside part of the blend and add a small amount of red Pinot Noir to give the wine it’s beautiful rose color. A shorter aging time on the yeast as compared to DVX allows the red fruit flavors to express themselves in balance with the toasty, yeast notes. 2018 was a vintage that gifted us with both excellent quality and high volumes. The moderate temperatures resulted in the development of beautiful, balanced flavors in the grapes, and also allowed for us to pick each block at just the right time. The small addition of red wine to the blend shifted the personality of the wine in favor of Pinot Noir, but without sacrificing the elegance of the Chardonnay.

Profile

Notes of grilled bread and baking spice greet you on the nose, followed by lovely strawberry, black cherry, red apple, and orange zest aromas. On the palate, a frothy mousse leads into a creamy mid-palate with a pleasant toastiness. Flavors of strawberries and cream and a hint of nectarine carry into the elegant finish.

Occasions & Pairings

This wine has endless possibilities, but I really think it calls for a holiday brunch. It would be lovely with lox and bagels, your favorite quiche, and of course, your favorite people.
