2023 Cuvée Blanc

40% Vermentino, 40% Grenache Blanc, 20% Picpoul

In 2004, George planted less than an acre of “experimental” white grapes-grenache blanc, vermentino and picpoul. One small step for George. One giant step for UNTI Vineyards Winery. We now have almost 6 acres panted combined, including our new Ligurian clone of Vermentino. This new vineyard adds a more serious minerality to CB. It is our best example of a serious southern French white blend.

Grenache blanc, the foundation for many Châteauneuf-du-Pape white wines, lends body, richness and texture. Vermentino offers floral fruity aromas and flavor, while picpoul adds a lovely citrus edge. The long, cool 2023 growing season really shows the vibrant acidity all three varieties deliver from our vines. Fermented and aged in stainles steel and concrete with no ML. The depth, complexity and texture of this 2023 CB shows why it is clearly my favorite Unti white wine, and one that will likely age well over the next 2-3 years.
