Clairette Blanche - 2020; Ab Astris Winery; Stonewall, Texas

The wines made from the estate grapes of Ab Astris have been perhaps one of the most eagerly awaited ones in the Hill County.  Behold their Clairette Blanche! Pick your favorite astonishing words, but “wow”, “man”, and “OMG” are just the beginning of descriptions of this lovely white wine.  If their tasting room smelled like this grape, you may not ever leave. By the way, if the winery sold a candle that smelled like this wine, it would be a repeat buy.  A lovely bouquet of apple and apricot will certainly delight your nose. Follow that with bright apple, rich flavors of melon and papaya and you know that this white wine jewel is one to savor with every sip. Add to those tasting sensations a touch of minerality and you know you have a winner in your glass.  This white wine just might be your “best friend” to hide out with through the Texas summer. Cheers!
