About This Wine

FogBreak

Pinot Blanc

Varietal: Pinot Blanc
ABV: 13.4 %
Region: Monterey County, California
Winemaker: Joe Otos
MSRP: $22.00

Each morning, cooling mist from the Monterey Bay rolls across the valleys of California's Central Coast. Vineyards below this cloud cover undergo a longer growing season, the perfect conditions for Pinot Blanc, one of the most difficult varietals to cultivate. Fogbreak is a classic example of this rare white wine, rich with aromas of honey and lemon.

Judges love this wine too: we're excited to announce that the Fog Break 2016 won a silver medal at the 2017 Critics Challenge!

Wine Region

Monterey County

Not to be confused with Monterey AVA, Monterey County is a larger designation that also includes the Carmel and San Antonio valleys, among others. Encompassing three distinct zones at the northern end of the Central Coast, Monterey County produces vast amounts of high-quality Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling and Pinot Gris. For reds, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon have often been replaced by Pinot Noir, Syrah and Grenache in recent years. These cooler-climate grapes achieve greatness through the influence of Monterey Bay, which pushes cold fogs and chilly afternoon winds down the Salinas Valley, tempering the sun's heat and allowing a long, moderate ripening season.
