Growing Conditions

Pinot Blanc grows on 3 of our farms, all within a mile of each other near the end of the Leelanau Peninsula. The peninsula narrows and we are only 1.5 miles east and 1.5 miles west of Lake Michigan/Grand Traverse Bay. This extends our growing season into early November. Pinot Blanc loves our sandy loam soils producing big, beautiful golden bunches.

Harvest

Hand harvested on October 20th.

Winemaking

Straight forward with light pressing, stainless fermentation, limited lees contact and bottling the spring after harvest

Appearance

Pale yellow

Food Pairing

Seafood especially whitefish and scallops
