Idlewild 2019 Flora & Fauna White Wine

A blend of 56% Arneis, 42% Muscat Canelli and 2% Cortese from Mendocino's Yorkville Highlands. The nose show's a light floral tone with a note of peach and some minerality. The palate is light with a textural tone of beeswax, honeysuckle and tree fruits. D&M Tasting Notes

Idlewild has a relatively concise aim within a broad context: to produce wines of exceptional balance and beauty. It is a journey to pursue Italy’s Piedmont in the elevated hills of Mendocino County, and to find the sides of these varieties that are intriguing, delicious, and haunting.

Each wine is unique and treated as such, though the common thread is balancing depth and seriousness with vibrancy and joy. Emphasis is on the vineyard followed by minimalist winemaking techniques. While not dogmatic in practice, an honest and sustainable approach is fundamental in making wines of purity. Winery Notes
