Six Peaks Blanc de Blanc
WHY WE LOVE IT
- The Six Peaks Blanc de Blanc was made from Chardonnay grown at Kenny’s Hill Vineyard in the Walla Walla Valley.
- It is a blend of three clones.
Varietal Composition: 100% Chardonnay
Elaboration: The fruit was cold pressed and fermented in 1/2 neutral French oak and 1/2 stainless steel. The finished wine received extensive bâtonnage and was blended and triage bottled.
Tasting Notes: The sparkling wine has lifted aromas of granny smith apples, lemon-lime and fresh baked bread with flavors of Meyer lemon and tart apple, filling the mid-palate leading to a clean, palate cleansing finish. Delicious.

PRODUCER BACKGROUND
John and Lynn Albin planted their first vineyard in 1981, the Laurel Vineyard located in Laurelwood AVA, OR. This estate vineyard sits atop Bald Peak, which offers a stunning panoramic view of five cascade mountains. Add up all of these peaks and you have 6 Peaks Winery. The Albin’s bring with them many decades of experience in viticulture and winemaking in the Pacific Northwest. Their second label, Lorelle, became an immediate hit when we first brought it in and we jumped at the chance to carry their original winery, Six Peaks Winery.
