Fuil Ban Santa Ynez White Blend NV

Fuil Ban Santa Ynez White Blend NV offers a fresh take on California white wine with its first-ever non-vintage release, crafted in the heart of the Santa Ynez Valley. This inviting blend of 89% Chardonnay and 11% Viognier brings together the strengths of both varietals—vibrant acidity and round, aromatic character. Bottled in March 2025, this wine delivers a sun-soaked expression of the Central Coast, reflecting its warm AVA with an easy charm and layered personality.

The nose opens with fresh cream and lemon meringue, hinting at the indulgence to follow. On the palate, it bursts into coconut, tangerine, and orange blossom, creating a bright, tropical medley with soft floral notes and a smooth, slightly creamy finish. The Chardonnay offers structure and minerality while the Viognier lifts the blend with ripe fruit and subtle perfume. At 13.7% ABV, it’s approachable yet expressive, balanced enough for a casual sip or a food-forward pairing.

This white blend is an easy match for roasted chicken piccata, herbed potatoes, or tropical-inspired dishes like plantains or bananas foster. Best enjoyed slightly chilled, it’s perfect for warm evenings and coastal meals, offering a fresh twist on Santa Ynez tradition with a non-vintage style built for everyday indulgence.
