Discover the grape variety: Bia blanc
Simple, fresh dry whites with a pale golden robe, supple palate with moderate acidity, showing understated citrus and white flower aromas. Discreet rustic profile. Preserved in a few ampelographic collections for its heritage value, it belongs to the ancient varieties whose commercial spread has nearly vanished, studied for their genetic interest. Rare white variety, little documented, grown in confidential quantities.

The wine region of Sonoma Valley
Historic cradle of Californian viticulture (Mission 1823, Buena Vista 1857, AVA 1981): over 60 grapes planted, Cabernet Sauvignon the benchmark and heritage Zinfandel the signatures — rich reds with ripe black fruit, spice and velvety tannins. Historic Chardonnay and Merlot, Syrah, Grenache and Malbec complement. Valley between the Mayacamas and Sonoma Mountains, varied climate from cool maritime sectors to hotter northern ones. The county's oldest AVA, a heritage identity.
The wine region of California
Powerful, sunny reds: dense Napa Cabernet Sauvignon (blackcurrant, chocolate, tobacco, ample tannins), spicy, jammy Zinfandel from the Sierra Foothills, silky red-fruited Pinot Noir on the cool coast (Sonoma, Russian River, Central Coast). Opulent, buttery Chardonnay, notes of yellow fruit and vanilla. Varied climate, from the hot interior to the Pacific-cooled coast. 80% of US production, 139 AVAs including Napa (1st AVA, 1981).
The word of the wine: Flint (smell of)
Mineral odour reminiscent of flint and flint heated during sharpening.
