This vintage of August White is made from our Estate Grenache Blanc and Area 51 vineyard Roussanne in Santa Ynez Valley. Winemaker Angela Osborne selects the optimum picking time for each site.
After harvest, the fruit is gently whole cluster pressed, and the fermentation happens naturally with ambient yeast. To highlight mouthfeel and a balance between the two varietals, the wine was aged for 15 months in neutral French oak and stainless steel barrels. The wine sat on gross lees until being racked to tank for bottling. We are proud to share the 2018 vintage of August White with you.
Presents with notes of jasmine, nutmeg, baking spice, and hints of green apple and lemon verbena. It is light on the palate with great acidity—the quintessential summer white.
