Version White (Grenache Blanc, Roussanne) 2007 (White Wines / Rhone Whites) -- Adelaida Shopping Cart -- 2007 Roussanne) Blanc, (Grenache White Version

<H1>Version White (Grenache Blanc, Roussanne) 2007 -- Adelaida Shopping Cart</H1> $27.00 -- Roussanne 58%, Grenache Blanc 42% Glenrose Paso Robles <div>Adelaida's signature white Rhone blend achieves synergy by combining varieties of contrasting character.  Roussanne, a redish-gold colored grape native to both the Southern and Northern Rhone contributes a rich and unctuous mouth feel with penetrating scents of wild flower honey and Asian pear.  On the other hand, Grenache Blanc, the "albino" cousin of Grenache Noir, delivers vibrant crisp acidity, a crisp apple and mineral tinged flavor profile, the perfect counterpoint to add a bright and salivating element to enhance this unique marriage.  Authenticated clones of these varieties were brought first to Paso Robles and California's Central Coast in the mid 1990s, and are still sparsely planted, amounting to just a few hundred acres outside of France.  New plantings went into the ground on our estate vineyard in 2006, so until they reach their third or fourth leaf we will continue to receive outstanding fruit from neighboring Glenrose Vineyard, also in the mountainous, limestone hills of the Westside. </div> <div>Low rainfall characterized the Winter season, resulting in compact clusters of vibrant fruit.  The varieties were handled separately, barrel fermented in neutral French oak, continuing through a complete malolactic conversion in the same barrels.  Matured for a full year with occasional lees stirring, the wines were combined in tank and bottled.   </div> An alchemy of flavors, Version white envelopes the senses with its scent of honeycomb and wild flowers, a virtual exhibition of Springtime perfume.  The finish is a lively contrast of apple crisp freshness and crushed rock minerality.  Best enjoyed today with a summer picnic or Thai inspired dishes, Version can be cellared up to 3 years.
