Notes from Viticulturist
Continuing with the Rhône valley cultivar theme, Clairette is a unique and almost rare offer for this area. Specifically requested by local winemakers, this cultivar is versatile, excellent as either a blend or a stand alone varietal.
Planted in block G to closely match the Northern Rhône growing region, this is our warmest season white cultivar at the vineyard.
