2021 Treana Blanc

Hope Family Wines

California, Central Coast

Treana Blanc is a stunning full bodied new world Rhône blend with aromas of orange blossom, honey, peach nectar and a hint of tropical passion fruit. All of those aromas continue on the palate and evolve into rich roasted pineapple, dried apricot with notes of honeysuckle and elderflower. The finish is long and weighted with a creamy texture that is brightened with a touch of acid. This wine is crafted to be enjoyed with food and is very versatile.


Viticulture

growing season was very typical through early spring. Early summer through harvest gave us some unexpected heatwaves but plenty of mild weather in between resulting in a slight delay of harvest but mature fruit and flavors.


Vinification

Treana Blanc is a blend, primarily of Marsanne and Viognier, that is made by first whole-cluster pressing the grapes and chilling the juice for settling. The settled juice is then fermented in a mix of French oak barrels (with 50% being twice-used, 25% once-used, and 25% neutral). The wine ages on its lees for seven months before being blended and aged for another two months before bottling.
