Welcome to Blacksmiths Winery

Trillium

Retail $13.00

The next vintage will be made from 2006 fruit to be released in Spring 2007.

2006 Variety: 33% Columbia Valley Chardonnay, 34% Columbia Valley Riesling, 33% Yakima Valley Pinot Gris all of which were fermented in stainless steel.

One of the things we most enjoy about having our own winery is the opportunity to taste all the different wines we make and consider how we can blend them to make the best wine possible.

While we were trying different possibilities for the 2002 Chardonnay, we started to get a little more creative than usual.

By the time we were done, we had a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Gris and Vidal Blanc. We thought we had come up with something pretty special so we had to give it a special name. We settled on Trillium, a three petal wildflower native to eastern North America and particularly beloved by the people of Maine.

Description: Blacksmiths' Trillium has notes of pears, honeysuckle and vanilla in its aromas, an especially lush, creamy texture, and a lemony finish that balances the wine's core flavors of tropical fruits, peach/apricot and green melon.
