The 2022 Cameron Hughes 'Lot 957' Malvasia Bianca is a radiant, medium-bodied white that bursts with expressive tropical character. Aromas of ripe mango, orange blossom, jasmine, and a hint of honey create an inviting nose that transitions seamlessly to a dry, refreshing palate. Its easy-drinking structure and vibrant flavor profile make it a versatile companion at the table. Serve it chilled alongside spicy Thai green curry, sesame-crusted seared tuna, or aged goat cheese — each dish enhanced by the wine’s floral lift and balanced acidity.
Hailing from the coastal vineyards of Santa Barbara, Lot 957 captures the essence of the region’s distinctive marine influence, where foggy mornings and sunny afternoons work in harmony to preserve freshness and elevate aromatic intensity. This wine is the result of a thoughtful balance between place and craftsmanship, showcasing the depth that comes from both. Santa Barbara’s varied microclimates lend a layered complexity to this Malvasia Bianca — an uncommon trait in the varietal —making it a vibrant and memorable expression of California’s Central Coast.
