2012 Prisme Reserve Pinot Noir Blanc

 

Our Reserve Pinot noir blanc, Prismé is the truest expression of the Pinot noir grape. We select only our finest blocks of Pinot noir and gently press the grapes, liberating the free run juice, but not the color or tannins from the skins.It is then barrel-fermented, and aged on its lees in French oak barrels for 16 months. This structuredwhite wine has a backbone of acidity, a voluptuous mid-palate and along, creamy finish. Prismé is named after the word prism- the splitting of white light into its corresponding colors. Here we are doing precisely that in reverse, making a rich, textured white wine from Pinot noir.
