Bonobo Winery Releases 2020 Pinot Blanc
Posted on April 16, 2021
TRAVERSE CITY, Mich., April 16, 2021 – Bonobo Winery, a family-owned vineyard on Michigan’s Old Mission Peninsula, is releasing its 2020 Pinot Blanc, among the winery’s first major releases of 2021, which many are calling a “beautifully structured, vibrant and fruity summer wine.” The 100 percent estate-grown Pinot Blanc is available now to wine club members and in the tasting room, or online at bonobowinery.com.
While Pinot Blanc shares the same genetic fingerprint as pinot noir, it often gets less respect. But these are wines with a hefty dose of virtue, and they are bright, well-rounded and full-bodied. Bonobo’s 2020 Pinot Blanc opens with honeysuckle and stone fruit aromas, and a slight touch of spice, complemented with juicy flavors of orchard fruit and citrus, which are rounded out with a chalky minerality.
