ABOUT BLINDFOLD
Born from the dark and provocative world of The Prisoner Wine Company enters a new white wine expression that explores light, vibrance and elegance. Blindfold was crafted to awaken your senses. Experience our still Blanc de Noir with a heightened sense of sight, taste, and touch as what you see and what you taste may not be what you expected. 


ABOUT BLANC DE NOIR
Still, white-pressed pinot noir with notes of fresh, in-season citrus, white flower, white peach, a hint of tart cranberry. Delicate but lively, elegant, zesty & bright. This wine is made from mostly pinot noir with small amounts of Viognier and Gewurztraminer.

PRODUCTION PROCESS
Direct to press processing allowed control of extraction and monitoring of color to produce a white, still wine with the slightest salmon-colored hue. Viognier and Gewurztraminer were blended in to add fuller texture and a rich mouthfeel. 

IN THE VINES
Pinot Noir grapes were picked early to avoid high alcohol and saturated sugar flavors, and hand harvested to ensure fruit integrity of this delicate varietal.

WHAT IS A BLANC DE NOIR?
‘Blanc de noir’ translates to white of black, or white wine of black/red grapes. Blanc de noir is most commonly seen as a sparkling wine or champagne, but a still Blanc de Noir produces a light, elegant and vibrant white wine with all the nuance and aromatics of a pinot noir.
