I’d be willing to bet that you have never heard of this varietal we just got into Mission (I personally have never tasted a wine consisting of 100%). Folle Blanch! A rare grape historically used for distilling brandy (Cognac/Armagnac).

Jean Aubron Folle Blanche is a zippy, electric white wine sourced from 40+ year old estate vineyards in the Loire Valley, France. This wine is fermented in stainless steel and aged on its lees, which gives its high acid, otherwise bone-dry palate a surprisingly dense, creamy texture. It opens with vibrant aromas of lime zest, white flowers, and green apples. On the palate, key lime and unripe pear mingle with a crisp mouthfeel of limestone minerality and a beachy, saline finish. This wine has screaming acidity and reminds me a lot of a Muscadet or Picpoul. Similarly, this wine pairs well with almost any type of seafood, raw (preferred), baked, braised, or even fried. Raw oysters with a mignonette are a match made in heaven. Step out of the “norm” and pick up a new wine that you can get excited about!
