Francis Ford Coppola Winery has launched the 'Diamond Collection Shimmer,' a new white blend and the first addition to its Diamond Collection since 2022.
Designed for spring and summer enjoyment, this wine blends Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio sourced from vineyards in California’s cooler regions, resulting in a light, crisp, and vibrant profile. To preserve the grapes’ freshness, they are harvested at night and then gently pressed and fermented at controlled temperatures, allowing the wine’s citrus and floral characteristics to emerge. As a result, the Diamond Collection Shimmer offers "aromatic notes of white blossom, honeydew, pineapple, and citrus, along with flavors of white peach, tangerine, and lemongrass."
Overall, this release reflects the winery’s ongoing emphasis on balance and quality, providing a new option for those seeking a refreshing white blend well-suited to warmer weather.
