Blanc
du Bois has been making some good strides in recent years as more winemakers
begin to express the best qualities of this grape. But do not be fooled into
thinking it must be super sweet. Sourced from Palacios Vineyards near the
Brenham area, this bright golden colored white wine does tantalize with intense
grapefruit on the nose. As you sip
along, you’ll pick up some zesty lemon peel on the back of the tongue. This is
somewhat reminiscent of a Sauvignon Blanc with hints of citrus. The wine has a rich mouthfeel to it along
with bold acids and a clean crisp finish. Bent Oak has done a great job on
making a dry-style wine from this hybrid varietal. A great sipper for that May transition from
spring into summer. Cheers!
