2019 Robert Sinskey Vineyards 'Abraxas' White Blend

Aromas of chamomile, lemongrass, and white peach integrate with savory notes of wet flint and ginger spice. The palate is light-to-medium-bodied and intensely aromatic, featuring a core of Meyer lemon, crisp Anjou pear, and a hint of lychee. It displays a zippy, linear acidity and a gentle phenolic grip that leads to a bone-dry finish marked by a distinct saline minerality and a clean, refreshing snap.

This wine is an aromatic cuvée composed of Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, and Gewürztraminer. Each variety is harvested independently at night to retain freshness, whole-cluster pressed, and cool-fermented separately in stainless steel tanks. The components are then blended to create a dry expression that avoids any oak contact, emphasizing pure fruit aromatics and structural nerve.

The fruit is grown at the Scintilla Sonoma Vineyard within the Los Carneros region of Sonoma County, California. The site is defined by its nutrient-rich clay loam soils and is farmed using certified organic and regenerative practices. This cool maritime microclimate receives significant fog and wind from the nearby San Pablo Bay, which slows grape ripening and allows these aromatic varieties to develop deep phenolic complexity while preserving a vibrant natural acidity.
