The Count's Selection

Clairette Blanche / 2022

Extremely light and translucent in hue, the nose presents fragrant hints of pineapple, key lime, and mint. Vibrant notes of lemongrass, key lime, and green plum envelop the palate, striking a harmonious equilibrium between sweetness and tartness. The mouthfeel is impeccably balanced and seamlessly integrated, leading to a delightful, crisp, and enduring finish.

Tasting Notes

Story

The Vinicultural Society, formed in 1863 by the winery's founder, Count Agoston Haraszthy, to further improve its winemaking prowess and increase its expansive vineyards, has been restored as a collection of unique, small-production wines that honor the winery's pioneering spirit and contribution to California's winemaking. The Vinicultural Society explores noteworthy, obscure varietals, vineyards and the incredible terroir of Sonoma. Being true to our heritage, Buena Vista Winery presents to you our Count's Selection Clairette Blanche.

Winemaker’s Notes

This unique varietal was once the most widely planted white grape in the south of France and the wine was aged in concrete which lends texture and softening along with a sense of minerality.
