Don't be afraid of being different... be afraid of being the same as everyone else.
In ancient times (say, pre-2010), many people thought white wine consisted of either Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc. Chardonnay was rich and full-bodied; Sauvignon Blanc was aromatic and rather acidic. In France, they passed laws saying you could only make Chardonnay in these places and Sauvignon Blanc in those places. Wine snobs everywhere decreed that all wine must exhibit a “sense of place” and be “varietally correct”. Well, it’s 2021, and things are changing. Nowadays, at least in California, winemakers have more freedom to create innovative, complex white wines that do not conform to the traditional norms. We took full advantage of that to create this wine, which pretty much breaks all the rules.
