Unti Vineyards Cuvée Blanc Dry Creek Valley Chardonnay Rhône Blends

Unti Vineyards 2023 Dry Creek Valley White Blend
Crafted in California’s renowned Dry Creek Valley, this meticulously balanced white blend from Unti Vineyards combines three distinctive varietals to create a wine that’s both elegant and approachable. The 2023 vintage showcases a harmonious blend of 40% Grenache Blanc, 40% Vermentino, and 20% Picpoul—a trio celebrated for their vibrant acidity and layered complexity.

Grenache Blanc forms the backbone of this wine, offering rich texture and a silky mouthfeel reminiscent of classic Southern Rhône whites. Vermentino adds bright floral notes and ripe citrus aromas, while Picpoul contributes a crisp, zesty finish that lingers on the palate. The extended cool growing season of 2023 amplified these grapes’ natural acidity, resulting in a wine that’s lively yet structured.

Aged in stainless steel and concrete without malolactic fermentation, this blend retains its refreshing brightness while developing nuanced flavors of stone fruit and honeyed pear. At 13.5% alcohol by volume, it strikes a perfect balance between boldness and elegance—ideal for pairing with seafood dishes or creamy pasta.

Winemaker Steve Unti highlights this as his favorite Unti white to date, praising its depth and aging potential of 2–3 years. Whether enjoyed now or cellared for future enjoyment, this Dry Creek Valley gem stands out for its seamless integration of texture and acidity—a standout choice for fans of California’s finest white blends.
