2022 La Gran Flor Blanc (90% Sauv. Blanc, 10% Semillon)

$48.00

The 2022 La Gran Flor Blanc is the second vintage with fruit coming from the famous Boushey vineyard in the Yakima Valley. Our first interaction with fruit from Dick and Luanne Boushey’s Tauro block was in 2016 working for a client and we fell in love at first sip. They were gracious enough to allow us to buy fruit from this same block in 2021 after we left our original source for La Gran Flor Blanc that we had been using since 2012. The wine was fermented exclusively in 100% new French oak LUMEN barrels that are proprietary to our owner and winemaker.

Wine:

The 2022 La Gran Flor Blanc was harvested at night and whole cluster pressed. The wine was then fermented exclusively in 100% new French oak LUMEN barrels that are proprietary to our owner and winemaker. The combination of aromatic intensity, palate presence and staggering length make this the finest La Gran Flor Blanc produced to date.

Winemaker notes:

Explosive nose of crystallized lemon peel, apricot skin, citrus blossom and candied lychee. Swirling brings up hints of brioche and white tea with spun sugar and orange marmalade. The palate has great volume with dense stone fruits, candied citrus and a long structured finish. This wine is so wound up and expressive you should pour out a few ounces and let it sit for 30-45min before service.
