This eclectic Rhone Style blend from Opolo is made from selections from our finest vineyards. The grapes were crushed and left on skins for an extended period before being pressed, barrel fermented, and sur lie aged in both acacia and French oak barrels. The skin contact and barrel aging contribute both freshness and subtle hints of crème brulee. A wine to be savored!
Winemaker's Tasting Notes
The 2022 Willow Blanc is fresh and assertive with aromas of melon, peach, honeycomb, pear, white flower and green herb. Crunchy acidity and fleshy phenolic textures flood the mouth with pineapple, citrus, honeydew and vanilla. The finish is punchy and electric with lingering notes of Roussanne-derived viscosity.
