Martha Stoumen Post Flirtation White Blend

Martha Stoumen is one of California's most compelling voices in natural and low-intervention winemaking, working with old-vine fruit from Mendocino County and the North Coast to produce wines that prioritize texture, vitality, and a sense of place over varietal convention. Post Flirtation White is her signature entry-level white blend — typically built around old-vine Colombard and Palomino, two underdog grapes rarely celebrated in California but capable of producing wines of real character in the right hands. Fermented naturally with minimal sulfur additions, it typically shows stone fruit, dried herbs, and a gentle tannic grip from partial skin contact, with enough freshness and energy to make it far more interesting than its price suggests. A wine for people who find Chardonnay predictable and Sauvignon Blanc thin.
