Kiona Artemisia White Field Blend 2020

Enter the sophomore 2020 iteration of Estate Red Mountain Cuvée Artemisia, the white wine companion to Estate Red Mountain Reserve. This is an estate-grown, Red Mountain white wine blend where varietal blending convention is thrown out the window in favor of a deep understanding of our Red Mountain home and the stunning white wines that we grow here.   Red Mountain’s heat accumulation and pronounced diurnal shift produces powerful, ripe white wines. With an eye towards layering and texture, the Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Roussanne, and Chardonnay components went through a combination of clay amphora and oak barrel ferments. The result is a hedonistic white wine that can go toe-to-toe with Red Mountain’s finest reds.
