Seeking whole truth in wine advertisements
Seeking whole truth in wine advertisements

(MassLive) - Along with a sense of humor, wine should have integrity. Bonny Doon has both. On the back label of its 2011 Vin Gris de Cigare, right under the winery’s address - “Santa Cruz, CA, USA, EARTH” - I found this description: “Ingredients: 73 percent Grenache, 10 percent Mourvedre, 8 percent Grenache Blanc, 5 percent Roussanne, 4 percent Cinsault grapes, tartaric acid, and sulfur dioxide. In the winemaking process, the following were utilized: Indigenous yeast, yeast nutrients, and bentonite.”
Many wine bottles tell us their grape blends, but this one – unlike most others – tells us what else has been added to create the final product.
