We are offering an exclusive release of our Blanco We are offering an exclusive release of our Blanco White Wine Blend to our Club Members! Currently only sold in select retail stores, we are extending sales of this wine, AT THE SAME LOW PRICE, to our club members. This wine is an incredible price at only $12/bottle! ABOUT THIS WINE: A white blend of multiple vintages of locally sourced and Miraflores estate fruit including Vermentino, Pinot Grigio, Riesling, and Muscat Canelli. Extremely balanced and easy drinking, with fresh notes of pear, yellow apple, and lemon curd mingling with lush, tropical notes of mango and passionfruit, with a touch of fragrant white honeysuckle that is reminiscent of a spring day. The finish is creamy and luxurious. Victor Alvarez, owner of Miraflores Winery, personally helped to create this blend as he had a desire to create a wine that encompasses Miraflores’ terroir and stays true to quality, while keeping it at an approachable price point. VINEYARDS: El Dorado VARIETALS: 30% Vermentino, 30% Pinot Grigio,15% Riesling, 5% Muscat Canelli ALCOHOL: 14.5% RESIDUAL SUGAR: Dry BOTTLING DATE: January 22nd, 2024 AGING: 10% new French Oak TO ORDER: PLEASE CALL (530) 647-8505 OR EMAIL INFO@MIRAFLORESWINERY.COM Blanco is not available online! #MirafloresWinery
