Blanc du Bois – 2015; Majek Vineyard & Winery; Moravia, Texas


The full potential for this varietal is still in the making, but it has definitely found a niche in Texas sparkling wine. “Sealed” with a bottle cap is one unique feature you will notice and get a kick out of with this wine. Obviously, they have ensured there will be no chance of tainted cork for these bottles! This bottle has been sitting around for five years, so how is it you say? Simply, great!  This bottle has a softer feel, so you will taste more tropical fruit with kiwi and peaches. The deep pale straw color is just a sign of aging, but the aromas of apples and mango are still intact. It is dry yet provides a slightly sweet sensory profile.  A great successor to the 2014 vintage and very nicely done. Generally, no need to hold this type of wine this long, but just in case you forgot one in the back of the wine cellar, you know you can still pop the top and enjoy. Cheers!
