Lichen Estate White Pinot Noir 2024
Lichen Estate White Pinot Noir 2024
In the year 2000, they bought this 203-acre farm in the heart of Anderson Valley. It had been a sheep ranch for 150 years. Oaks, bays, and madrones lined the four creeks and dotted the rolling hills of our watershed. Every winter the oaks lost their leaves but the green ghostly garb of lichen remained. Lichen is everywhere here, from the Yorkville Highlands to the Mendocino Coast. Named as farm "Lichen Estate" in honor of its beauty and grace.
A third of fruit goes into the estate sparkling wine: Blanc de Gris and Blanc de Noir and Grand Cuvée. The rest goes into the estate still wines: Pinot Noir, White Pinot Noir, and Pinot Gris.
In the winery, they seek to express estate vineyard's character by using the gentlest of equipment coupled with minimalist techniques. They strive for elegance, focus, purity, structure, and balance in all our wines.

This wine is lively, fresh with aromas of red plum, cassis, dried rose petals, and citrus on the nose. The flavors on the palate are cranberry-pomegranate, red apple skins, transmuting into dried herbs, orange zest, mineral, earth and gripping tannins to finish. This bottling is an interesting experiment by using the Solera Sherry concept to produce this offering. It is not just one year of fruit, it is 10 years. Prepare to intrigued and delighted.
