Idlewild Wines 2023 Flora & Fauna White Wine: A Symphony of Aromas and Lightness

Origin & Craftsmanship:
Sourced from the sun-drenched vineyards of Mendocino County, California, this 2023 vintage from Idlewild Wines is a masterful blend of 40% Arneis, 30% Muscat Canelli (also known as Muscat Blanc or Moscato Bianco), 10% Cortese, 10% Erbaluce, and 10% Favorita (a Piedmontese biotype of Vermentino). Meticulously crafted, it harmonizes the unique characteristics of each varietal to create a white wine that’s both vibrant and refined.

Tasting Notes:
Experience a delicate balance of floral elegance and zesty freshness. The nose is adorned with hints of orange blossoms and wet stones, while the palate reveals bright citrus notes of lemon peel and the subtle sweetness of ripe pear. What sets this wine apart is its unexpected lightness—a near-rainwater-like texture that culminates in a crisp, clean finish. Perfect for those seeking a white wine that’s bold in flavor yet effortlessly drinkable.

Vineyard Story:
The grapes are sourced from two exceptional sites: Fox Hill Vineyard, which contributes aromatic richness, and Lost Hills Ranch, known for its vibrant, bright fruit profiles. This dynamic duo ensures a wine that’s both complex and approachable.

Ideal Occasions:
Whether paired with seafood, light salads, or enjoyed on its own on a warm afternoon, this Flora & Fauna White Wine elevates any moment. Its moderate alcohol content (11.9%) makes it a versatile choice for casual gatherings or intimate dinners.
