Winemaker Notes
Bright white wine with golden hue. Aroma of ripe white fruit and minerals. Creamy, fleshy, fresh, and very seductive in the mouth. Its mid-palate is quite long and silky.

COMMENTARY: The 2020 Clos Dalian Garnacha Blanca is an authentic Old World-style wine. TASTING NOTES: This wine shines with aromas and flavors of herbs, rustic spices, and ripe citrus. Enjoy it with steamed clams, fermented black beans, and noodles. (Tasted: December 22, 2021, San Francisco, CA)
Producing full-bodied white wines, Grenache Blanc can be unctuous and soft or floral and fresh. Some of the finest examples are terroir-driven, age-worthy wines. It is a key ingredient in white Châteauneuf-du-Pape and many white blends across southern France and NE Spain. Somm Secret—Grenache Blanc plays a key role in the vins doux naturels of Rivesaltes and a subsidiary role in those of Banyuls and Maury.
