2021 Aurelia Cellars Monterey, California Pinot Blanc

Every wine rack should include several bottles of Pinot Blanc. Especially this outstanding rendition. Pinot Blanc plantings can be found in many highly respected growing regions, including Alsace in France, Friuli Venezia Giulia in Italy, and all over Germany and Austria.

In California, Monterey is known for growing exceptional Pinot Blanc grapes as the variety fares well in the cool climate, much like Pinot Noir does (Pinot Blanc is a white mutation of Pinot Noir).

Because it’s low in tannins, the Aurelia Cellars Pinot Blanc is great for serving cold with a group of people who occupy varying positions on the wine experience spectrum. It’s exceptionally refreshing, which means it can be savored solo, and its delicious but not assertive flavors elevate it to star status with many types of food, from brunch fare to chicken and fish. So invite your friends over and enjoy a few bottles.
