ABOUT THIS WINE
Nevada City Winery, established in 1880, is the oldest operating winery in Nevada County, California. After being shuttered by Prohibition, it became the first bonded winery to reopen in the county in 1980, revitalizing the local wine industry. Located in the historic downtown Sierra Foothills, the winery is currently run by an all-women management team led by Winemaker Cathy Lee. To showcase diverse terroirs, they source specialized varietals like this Grenache Blanc from grower-partners in the nearby Lodi AVA.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
Sourced from the Lodi AVA, where warm days are cooled by the Delta Breeze from the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, preserving natural acidity. This Grenache Blanc is crafted as an unfiltered white wine, bypassing heavy fining or filtration prior to bottling. This low-intervention approach preserves the wine's natural texture, yeast-derived complexity, and aromatic oils, resulting in a slightly hazy appearance and a broader mid-palate.
