Winemaker Notes
Blanc de Noir (literally in French: "white from black"") is the French term for a white wine made from red wine grape varieties. Since the color of the Pinot Noir grape is found exclusively in the skin and not in the pulp, it is possible to press a white juice from which a white wine can be vinified by careful, gentle pressing. The wine shows itself to be rich in nuances, with a play of aromas of pear, apple, yellow peach and an elegant minerality. The partially malolactic cooking softens the acidity and allows melty aromas to unfold.
There are hundreds of white grape varieties grown throughout the world. Some are indigenous specialties capable of producing excellent single varietal wines. Each has its own distinct viticultural characteristics, as well as aroma and flavor profiles.
