Onesta Wines, 2019 Grenache Blanc
Meyer lemon, and a hint of white peach aroma jump out of the glass. A bright and refreshing white wine, with complex layers of sea mist and minerality, will quench any thirst on a hot summer day. Inspiration for this wine style developed while drinking the white wines from the Amalfi Coast of Italy, where the mountains meet the sea. Like the wines of the Amalfi region, the Onesta Grenache Blanc pairs perfectly with grilled fresh seafood drizzled with green herbs and lemon.
Vinification: With all Onesta wines, Jillian showcases what Lodi can offer; bright, balanced, fruit forward wines with a north coast profile. 100% Grenache Blanc whole cluster pressed for gentle handling. Cold fermentation in stainless steel retains the fresh tropical fruit flavors while sur lie aging for 6 months gives the wine a richness on the palate.
