Clif Family Reyna Noriega White Blend | 2023

The Reyna white blend is a collaboration between Miami-based artist, Reyna Noriega, and Clif Family Wines of Napa Valley. A certified B-Corp. means Clif Family Wines are held to the highest social and environmental sustainability standards. A few examples of how Clif Family impacts their community, guests, and planet include implementing 100% organic farming and regenerative practices in the vineyards, providing competitive wages and benefits to their employees, and donating $25,000 annually to American Forests which supports tree restoration across cities in North America. A unique collaboration from vineyard to bottle, from label to people, the Reyna white is, most importantly, delicious. A blend of Viognier and Chardonnay, harvested from the Oak Knoll District of Napa Valley, the fruit is hand sorted then undergoes a three-day cold soak to maximize flavor. After fermentation, the wine ages in neutral French oak, which complements the notes of honeysuckle, ginger, pear, and melon in the glass. Bottled at 14.1% alcohol, these grapes find their yin-and-yang, balancing texture with lacey acidity. Just like its label, it's persuasive, but eloquent. ~Allegra A
