Our 2024 Red Mountain Optu White is a traditional Bordeaux Blanc blend sourced primarily from 30+ year old vines at Artz blended with a sunkissed block of Sauvignon Blanc at Quintessence vineyard. These blocks sit at the bottom of the appellation where the cooling effects of the Yakima river are greater helping to preserve natural acidity and freshness in white varietals. In the glass the wine is a bright gold color typical of a barrel fermented white Bordeaux. On the aroma we get honeyed tropical fruit and wonderful floral scents coming from the warm weather Semillon, paired with white peach and lemon from the Sauvignon Blanc. The palate is rich but balanced with a mouthwatering acidity - passionfruit, lemon curd, and grapefruit. While sipping on Optu White we think of enjoying with all sorts fresh Pacific Northwest seafood dishes.
