Blanca's Blend

2012 Santa Barbara County Chardonnay

The Glunz Family Winery & Cellars Blanca's Blend is a beautifully crafted Chardonnay that embodies the character of Santa Barbara County's unique terroir. This delightful white wine showcases a medium body with a refreshing balance and vibrant acidity that adds a lively touch to every sip. The fruit intensity is pronounced, featuring luscious notes of ripe apple and pear, complemented by hints of citrus that brighten the palate. Additionally, this blend exhibits well-integrated oak characteristics, enhancing its complexity without overpowering the fruit. With its dry profile, this wine is wonderfully food-friendly, making it an ideal companion for various dishes or simply enjoyed on its own. The 2012 vintage speaks to the skillful winemaking that has come to define the Glunz Family's commitment to quality and artistry in every bottle.

California's Central Coast might be a bit quieter than Napa or Sonoma to the north, but this lesser-known region produces many world-class wines. Enjoying incredible terroir along its vast 280-mile stretch—from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara—Central Coast wines are increasingly in demand. Its position between the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Southern Coast Ranges is key to its quality, with many cool-climate AVAs offering elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot. In the hotter parts of the Central Coast, away from the coastal fogs and cold mountain slopes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre are exceptional.
