Wine Details
Price:
$14.00 per bottle
Description:
Potato Barn White is a blend of chardonnay and pinot blanc, the two white grape varieties that we feel are best suited to the North Fork’s terroir. This refreshing wine is clean and crisp with a wonderful nose of ripe pear, peach and fresh apricot. The fruit is laced with a light mineral component that dances on the palate. It is intriguing enough to hold the attention of connoisseurs and accessible enough to be enjoyed by all.

Varietal Definition
Chardonnay:
Chardonnay is by far the most widely planted grape crop in California and dominates California’s cooler, coastal, quality wine regions. The natural varietal ‘taste and smell’ of Chardonnay is surprisingly unfamiliar to many wine drinkers, as its true character is often guised with dominating winemaking signatures. Chardonnay’s rather subdued primary fruit characteristics lean toward the crisp fruitiness of apples, pears and lemon, but the variety’s full body is capable of supporting a host of complementary characteristics, such as oak, butter and vanilla. Regardless of what is the appropriate style for Chardonnay, the varietal continues to dominate vineyard plantings in every corner of the world. Close attention to clonal selection has made this broad geographic and climactic range of Chardonnay viable in thoughtful viticultural hands.

Pinot Blanc:
White grape popular for the dry white wines it produces. Increasingly grown in California, the Northwest, Northeast, Canada.
