WINE DESCRIPTION

J. Wilkes Pinot Blanc is a refreshing and elegant white wine produced by J. Wilkes in the Santa Maria Valley appellation of California. The grapes are sourced from carefully selected vineyards that benefit from the cool coastal climate and well-draining soils. The winemaking process involves gentle pressing and fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the delicate aromas and flavors of the fruit. The resulting wine is crisp and bright, with notes of citrus, green apple, and white peach. Its balanced acidity and clean finish make it a versatile pairing for a variety of dishes or a delightful sip on its own.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This J. Wilkes Pinot Blanc offers an inviting bouquet of ripe white stone fruit and citrus aromas that come together in a lively, full-bodied palate.Aromas of lemon, lime and pear lead to a pleasant mid-palate of ripe melon and a touch of apple. The finish is crisp and refreshing with a hint of minerality. Enjoy with grilled seafood, light poultry dishes or a cheese plate.

ORIGINS

Winery: J. Wilkes

Region: Central Coast California

The Central Coast of California is a wine lover's paradise, boasting a wide variety of climates, soils, and grape varieties. Located between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Central Coast spans from Monterey County in the north to Santa Barbara County in the south. With its diverse topography and Mediterranean climate, the Central Coast is home to some of the most renowned wineries in the United States. The Central Coast has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The first vineyards were planted in the Santa Clara Valley, and by the late 1800s, the region was producing some of the finest wines in the country. The region's reputation for quality wines was further solidified in the early 1989, when the Santa Clara Valley was declared among the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the United States.
