	BLEND & GRAPE SOURCES: White Pastiche is a blend of 29% Chardonnay, 25% Scheurebe, 15% Riesling, 15% Semillon, 9% Marsanne, 5% Viognier and 2% Muscat. WINEMAKING DATA: Grapes were harvested at an average 24.0° Brix, with 30% of the blend barrel fermented and aged 8 months in French oak, and 70% fermented in stainless steel tanks and held 8 months in German oak ovals. The two lots were then blended and bottled in September, 2000. Similar to an Alsatian white wine, this blend of seven different varieties offers layers of floral, pear and citrus aromas. A mouth-coating texture serves up similar flavors through the lingering finish. An excellent choice for poultry and seafood dishes.
