2018 DESANTE L’ATELIER PROPRIETARY WHITE

Desante’s L’Atelier is a rare white varietal field blend from the cooler, riverside area of Yountville. Field blends are made worldwide and common in Portugal, Italy, and France; however, a white varietal blend is a rare treat. The vineyard is approximately 30% Semillon, 30% Pinot Blanc, 30% Chardonnay, intermixed with Sauvignon Blanc, and Sauvignon Vert. In field blended wines, the grapes are co-fermented, contributing to the natural balance and integration of flavors, acids, aromatics, and structure.

Dave Desante’s admiration for winemaking began at age ten, and it’s taken him all over the world, from Margaret River, Australia to Chateau Petrus in Bordeaux. He’s revered as an expert winemaking consultant in Napa Valley and was the founding winemaker for Tierra Roja.

Desante believes that when these aromatic varieties share fermentation’s formative experience, they highlight the best in one another, resulting in a more balanced and complex wine. Their 2018 is highly-aromatic, bright, focused and full of energy, and at under thirty, it’s an extraordinary value.
