St. Helena, CA (June 10, 2024) - Clif Family Winery, a leader in organic agriculture and delicious, food-friendly wines, is thrilled to announce the exciting expansion of its collaboration with renowned Miami-based artist Reyna Noriega. Following the acclaimed 2021 Red Blend released last fall, Clif Family and Reyna Noriega are introducing a bright and delicious 2023 white wine blend.
This new offering blends Chardonnay and Viognier grapes grown in the Napa Valley, where art and wine have often come together in unique ways. Winemaker Laura Barrett has crafted a vibrant and expressive wine, showcasing the unique characteristics of both varietals. Look forward to notes of citrus, stone fruit, and honeysuckle, balanced by a refreshing acidity.
Reyna Noriega’s signature artwork graces the bottle, reflecting a connection to the natural world and the artistry behind both winemaking and artistic creation. This collaboration exemplifies the exciting trend of partnerships bringing fresh energy to the wine world.
“I am thrilled to continue collaborating with Clif Family Winery,” says Reyna Noriega. “As an artist, I am drawn to the beauty and complexity of winemaking. There's a shared passion between the art of creating a delicious wine and the artistry of creating a visually compelling piece. The wine bottle becomes my canvas, allowing me to translate the essence of the wine – its color, its aroma, its taste – into a visual language.”
“Working with Reyna on this project has been incredibly inspiring,” says Laura Barrett. “There are so many parallels between the art of winemaking and the art of creating a visual masterpiece. Both require a deep understanding of raw materials, a meticulous attention to detail, and a touch of creativity to achieve the desired outcome. Reyna's ability to capture the essence of our wine through her artwork is truly inspiring.”
The 2023 Clif Family x Reyna Noriega White Blend officially releases on June 1st, 2024. To learn more and find a bottle near you, visit https://www.cliffamily.com/.
