2019 August White
Angela Osborne x Folded Hills Library Wine

93 PTS - WINE ENTHUSIAST

Delivering both freshness and richness, the Folded Hills August White is a perfect balance of Grenache Blanc, Clairette Blanche, and Roussanne. Winemaker Angela Osborne monitors the vineyard carefully and then selects the optimal time for harvesting the grapes.

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 three varietals, the wine was aged for 10 months in neutral French oak and a concrete egg. The wine sat on gross lees until being racked to tank for bottling. We are proud to share this 2019 vintage of August White with you.

Delightful notes of mango and key lime, reminiscent of a tropical pina colada. It has a beautiful floral nose with hints of plumeria, creating an exotic and appealing bouquet.

Tasting Notes
"Rounded aromas of melon, lime skin and white flower meet with a touch of toasted macadamia nut on the nose of this white blend. Poached apple and pear flavors are sprinkled with sea salt, light cream and more nuts on the palate, which is rich in mouthfeel." 93 PTS - WINE ENTHUSIAST, MATT KETTMANN
