Union Sacré
Edelzwicker
Central Coast, California, USA
🍊 Union Sacré Edelzwicker 2023
📍 Paso Robles AVA, California | 🍷 Skin-Contact White Blend
A lively Alsace-inspired orange wine blending Pinot Blanc 33%, Pinot Gris 30%, Sylvaner 20%, Riesling 10%, Gewürztraminer 5% & Muscat Ottonel 2%.
✨ 48 hrs skin contact → light pink-orange glow 💖
🪵 5 months in 600 L neutral barrels native yeast fermentation
👃 Aromas: orange sherbet · melon · wet stone
👅 Flavors: grapefruit · cantaloupe · ✨ zesty minerality
⚡ Bright, energetic acidity + silky texture = fun & refreshing!
Perfect with:
🥗 Goat cheese & citrus salad
🍣 Salmon sashimi or sushi rolls
🍗 Roast chicken with herbs
🥟 Pork & veggie dumplings
🧀 Soft, aromatic cheeses (like Munster or washed-rind brie)
🌶️ Mild curry or coconut-based Thai dishes
Not the usual white blend and can be an acquired taste for some, but in general it is a crowd-pleaser!

Enjoyable, easy-drinking, and juicy on the palete. Wish it was a bit drier.
