Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
This three varietal blend of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay sings of lime, Meyer lemon, wet stone and green apple. The warm and ripe 2018 vintage still holds on to its racy acidity - perfect for any seafood or cream based cuisine.
Vineyard Notes
Dry Farmed Using Organic Principles La Belle Promenade Vineyard is comprised of 33 acres of vines planted in 2014. The vineyard is home to volcanic soils ranging in diversity from a thick layer of fractured basalt in our shallow rooted southwestern blocks and deeper volcanic Saum soils in the southeastern corner of the vineyard. The crops we harvest from La Belle Promenade produce characteristic floral notes that cling to acidity and tell the story of the orchard fruits that once grew here.
