White wines are typically just one varietal. The wines in this blend fit together like a puzzle, blended by taste to excite the senses. It’s great by itself and pairs well with spicy foods.
The 2021 White Rex is a vibrant and layered white blend that captures the best of its varietals. On the nose, delicate aromas of honeysuckle, peaches, and a hint of melon invite you in. On the palate, this wine strikes a beautiful balance between bright acidity and a smooth, rounded texture. The Chardonnay brings creamy apple and subtle oak, the Sauvignon Blanc lends zesty lime and grapefruit, and the Roussanne adds an exotic note of honeydew and peaches.
The finish is crisp yet lingering, with a touch of minerality and a whisper of spice, making it both refreshing and complex.
Pairing Suggestions: Excellent with seafood dishes like grilled scallops or oysters, creamy pastas, roast chicken, or a fresh summer salad with goat cheese and citrus vinaigrette.
PJ and Robert met at Berkeley in 1968. Robert, a backyard mechanic, kept PJ’s Italian sports cars running – takes an Italian to do that. As a thank you, PJ gave Robert, who was already interested in fine wine, a winemaking kit – seemed a good gift for a chemist grad. Robert made his first wine in his garage in Berkeley in 1972. He entered it in the California State Fair and took home the Best of Show Award. Robert found his passion and continued making wine in his garage, turned winery, for his family and friends.
Ten years later, PJ and Robert left their good jobs in the city to pursue their dream of owning a winery in the Sonoma Valley. In 1982, they bought the Deerfield Ranch in Glen Ellen, where they got married, and turned the horse barn into their first winery. The Rexes still live there today; however, in 2000, they bought 47 acres on Highway 12 in Kenwood to expand the winery operation. The Deerfield Ranch Winery is still family-owned and operated, producing about 20,000 cases a year.
Our wines are barrel aged in the 23,000 sq. ft. cave, also home to the tasting room open daily to the public. Winemaker Robert Rex was the pioneer of the cleanwine® movement and can often be seen at the winery. His philosophy is “Wine should be good and good for you.”
