Zenaida Cellars
Wallflower Willow Creek District Paso Robles Grenache Blanc
Paso Robles, Central Coast, California, USA
The winery produces just 1 white each vintage in small quantity. This 100% Grenache Blanc is the best one I’ve tasted yet.
Peach, pineapple, mandarin orange, white flower, chrysanthemum, hint of white pepper on the nose. On the palate it is plush yet very crisp, with a chalky mineral undertone. Semi dry. A bit heat on the finish, but even that went well with curry chicken.
Interesting fact: Grenache Blanc was not recognized as a varietal by the U. S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms until 2002.
