Autees is the ancient Persian Goddess that protects all plants, animals and trees on Earth. She is the protector of life and all things that grow.
A slightly richer style of the Pinot Blanc grape, tending towards ripe fruit notes of apricot and even lychee. The floral scents in the nose are honeysuckle alight on a cool breeze. The upright acidity beckon you back again, with ample minerality on the dry, clean finish. Stellar with the firmer cheeses, fresh, ripe fruit and subtly herbed seafood.

"The 2017 Pinot Blanc Autees Momtazi Vineyard has a pretty nose of fresh quince and green pear with nuances of lemon pith, white blossoms and acacia honey. It’s light to medium-bodied, lively and refreshing with good concentration of tree fruits and lovely floral/honey accents, with refreshing acidity and a long, pleasantly phenolic finish. Yum! 440 cases produced. - Erin Brooks"
