Union Sacré “Noble” 2022
Paso Robles, Central Coast, California, USA 🇺🇸
Overview
A vigorous and wildly expressive skin-contact white blend crafted in Paso Robles’ Tin City. Composition: 34% Pinot Gris, 34% Pinot Blanc, 32% Riesling. Union Sacré is known for its Franco-Californian artisanal edge, and Noble embodies that spirit—a hazy, unfiltered, dry wine that leans into the modern “orange wine” style while keeping it approachable and refreshing.
Aromas & Flavors
Bursts with peach, tangerine peel, grapefruit zest, and white flowers. The Riesling brings tension and aromatic lift, Pinot Gris provides stone fruit depth, while Pinot Blanc adds texture and backbone.
Mouthfeel
Fresh, bright, and layered with a lingering but pleasant finish. The skin contact gives a subtle tannic grip, while fermentation in concrete vats enhances minerality and freshness.
Winemaking Notes
Hand-sorted grapes undergo 14 days of skin maceration in concrete vats, then the wine is aged 5 months before bottling. Unfined, unfiltered, naturally hazy—a hallmark of its artisanal character.
Food Pairing
Pairs effortlessly with grilled shrimp, saffron rice, Mediterranean mezze, or summer salads. Also a perfect “patio pounder” when served chilled.
Verdict
Union Sacré Noble is a playful yet serious orange-styled wine, combining freshness with rustic authenticity. A conversation starter and a crowd-pleaser—exactly what Tin City Paso Robles is all about. Cheers! 🍊✨
