Sure.  You’ve had Sauvignon Blanc before. But have you ever had Frontignac?  Or Fiano?  Maybe our worldly subscribers, but for most the answer is no! But, hey, that’s what we do at everywine; we turn you on to juice that no-one else is looking at. Here’s the 411 on these two grapes. Frontignac is a red grape of low color intensity that produces strongly perfumed and fragrant WHITE wines. Fiano, on the other hand, is an ancient grape from southern Italy that produces high-quality white wines that are extremely attractive to bees!  To BEES!

The husband and wife team at Ricca Terra are devoted to making wine from grape varieties that are best suited to Australia’s warm and dry climate. In their hands the usual suspects (Chards, Cabs, and Merlots) gave way to Mediterranean varieties such as the two included in this cuvée and we couldn’t be more excited.
