Aromas and flavors of apple, lemon, flint, quince, white peach and pineapple. The wine has subtle acidity that balances the opulent fruit and a wonderful silky texture on the palate. 100% cab franc made with very careful pressing to preserve a pale lemon color. Delightful with seafood.

A white made from Cab Franc. Refreshing and a touch of sweetness.

Nice Grenache Blanc. Not too sweet. Fruit and floral. Fantastic for the price point.

Really round and bright with tons of tart fruit. Round pear, light jasmine. Lovely med + acid, some grapefruit and lots of ripe apple on the palate. Just very cool. My first non skin contact cab franc. The body is there. Definently an interesting wine.

Clean, fresh, soft mouthfeel, with a small acid bite at the end. Nose of aloe and white roses. Definitely on the far end of the esoteric spectrum for me but I love it. Didnt know white cab franc existed. Special treat from Vintry.
