Ferdinand Garnacha Blanca 2018
California, United StatesFrom AVA Lodi - Borden Ranch's Vista Luna Vineyard and its alluvial cobbles and gravelly loam, this garnacha blanc was grown organically, whole cluster pressed and fermented naturally and spent a year in neutral barrel. As with all of garagiste Ferdinand Wines' offerings, this is low intervention throughout. Creamy pear, green plum, blackcurrant bud, musk melon swirl around a stony base, clad with downy lees and wrapped with lemon pith and fine, subtle wood spices.
