“Staterra white is the ultimate expression in blending. We take our time trying all sorts of combinations until we find the one that is just right. The goldilocks of blends.” Ben Minaker– Winemaker
Tasting note:
This wine is a slightly deeper shade of gold. It has very bright aromas of cantaloupe melon, Asian pear and fresh buttercream frosting. It is full in the mouth without being fatty. It is a full bodied white wine. It finishes with a melon after taste..Tasted September, 2018
Wine Making Note:
All of the components for this blend were fermented separately. Some were fermented in steel, some in oak. The parts were then tasted and then blended. The final blend is 41% Chardonnay, 31% Gewurztraminer, 19% Viognier, 9% Muscat.
Food Pairing:
This wine would make a great match with rich seafood dishes. Try this with lobster mac and cheese. It would also pair well with roasted duck.
