Rhys Vineyards, Aeris Bianco (Carricante) Centennial Mountain, 2019

Rhys Vineyards’ 2019 Aeris Bianco “Centennial Mountain” highlights estate-grown Carricante from volcanic, high-altitude sites in Mendocino Ridge. The team, known for precision in cool-climate Pinot and Chardonnay, fermented this single-varietal naturally and aged it in neutral oak to preserve freshness.

This mid-tier bottling delivers focused minerality and vibrant tension, reflecting Aeris’s coastal-style expression. It complements Rhys’s refined lineup with a distinctive Italian grape adapted to California terroir.
