Rocinante | Scions of Sinai
When Bernhard went to take samples from a vineyard planted with Chenin Blanc, Grenache Blanc and Roussanne, he realised all three varieties were ready to go, so treated them as a single field blend pick. The resulting wine is waxy, textured and deftly combines the varietal character of all three grapes with his trademark maritime freshness.
