WINE DESCRIPTION
Stolpman Vineyards L'Avion is a white wine produced by Stolpman Vineyards, a winery located in the Ballard Canyon appellation of Santa Barbara County, California. The vineyard features limestone soils and a unique microclimate that allows for a long growing season yielding ripe, but balanced, fruit. The winemaking process involves hand-harvesting Roussanne grapes and fermentation in small batches, followed by aging in French oak barrels. L'Avion is a full-bodied wine with a waxy texture and long finish. This is perfect for those who enjoy the variety that wine can offer.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Stolpman Vineyards L'Avion is a delicious expression of Roussanne from California's Central Coast. It offers an inviting nose of honeysuckle and crushed chalk that carries through to the palate.The bright acidity and waxy texture offer a balanced and complex experience. Enjoy this now but it will develop complex creme brulee toffee notes with up to 10 years of aging.

ORIGINS
Winery: Stolpman Vineyards
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.CUSTOMER RATING
