Apothic White Blend (75cl, 12.5%)

A California white wine made by E. & J. Gallo Winery, built from Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Grigio and Muscat Canelli and bottled at 12.5% ABV. The 2021 vintage earned a Gold Medal at the OC Fair Commercial Wine Competition. Chardonnay provides structure and vanilla-inflected richness, Riesling contributes acidity and tropical fruit, Pinot Grigio adds stone-fruit brightness, and Muscat Canelli brings floral sweetness and texture. The nose shows ripe pear, fresh peach, honeyed vanilla, tropical pineapple and a floral lift. The palate is soft and fruit-forward, with sweet citrus, honeydew melon, pineapple, apricot and subtle vanilla spice. The finish is medium, silky and mouthfilling, with ripe stone fruit and gentle honey sweetness.
