Pinot Blanc is a wonderful addition to the Arcturos line of dry white wines. This grape varietal grows well in our Northern Michigan climate. This vintage has beautiful aromatics, lush fruit flavors and an overall balance that make it a great white for many different occasions.
Flavor Profile:
Fresh green apple and lemon notes followed by subtle minerality and a crisp finish. A pleasant creaminess can also develop through time spent aging in the bottle.
Aging Potential:
Enjoy this wine young or age for two or more years for a broader palate presence.
Suggested Food Pairings:
Lightly seasoned seafood appetizers and entrees (think shellfish, sea scallops & oysters), rich game birds, smoked ham and lemon cream based pastas.
Wine Makers Comments:
As the clonal cousin to Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc has similar characteristics in its development. It can be alluring when young yet develop much broader personality and depth with proper cellaring.
