2024 LA Blanc - Mendocino

History
Husch holds a strong belief that quality wine should be affordable, especially within our local community. For this reason, we blend a white table wine each year that can be enjoyed by our friends and neighbors on a daily basis. We aim for the wine to be a local favorite, and it is only available in Mendocino County. The name of the wine is based on the initials for great-grandchildren Luke and Amelia, the fourth generation of the H.A. Oswald Family.

Winemaking
With no rigid rules to follow, we enjoy crafting a vibrant and expressive white wine by thoughtful blending from the diverse lots in our cellar. This flexibility allows us to explore character, balance, and nuance with each vintage. Our aim in producing LA Blanc is simple: to offer a wine that’s irresistibly enjoyable, refreshingly versatile, and ready to be opened and savored any day or night, no special occasion required.

Tasting Notes
Our 2024 LA Blanc is a perfect go-to wine that offers easy drinking and lots of enjoyment. Crisp and aromatic, this wine has notes of white peach, apricot and watermelon rind. Light and fresh, on the palate this wine continues to evolve with tropical notes and bright minerality. Approachable on its own, it will also pair nicely with foods such as: a goat cheese crostini with honey, a Greek salad with feta and olives, lemon ricotta pasta or oysters on the half shell. This will be the perfect wine for your next get together!
