This organic white blend features rich tropical fruit flavors that also carry a lot of minerality. Fresh and lively, with a finish of golden raisin and spice. 30% Grenache Blanc, 30% Sauvignon Blanc, 30% Chardonnay and 10% Viognier.
From the Wine Maker – “A clean, pale gold color, accented by the Chardonnay in the wine. The nose is floral and full, with scents of apricot and apple. On the palate Naked Earth Blanc is crisp upon entry, with immediate notes of lemon and grapefruit, moving into more flavors like vanilla and hibiscus flowers. It ends on a dry finish with gripping texture, coming from the wines’ generous minerality and balanced acidity.”
This wine is excellent with pasta in light wine sauce like lemon-flavored olive oil or spicy Asian noodles. It also goes well with caesar or green salads with light to medium dressings.
