Your title and the pic imply different coloured varieties. Is it a New World Rose made by mixing?

'Whiter than white' could refer to innocence, virginal. The base of the vine above resembles a pair of legs being crossed, there is a leaf positioned where the crown jewels are located.

Eve? A religious connection perhaps?

This one is a little unfair, but it's such a nice pic. Not a s/mkt offering, but visited by Oz & James.

Series 1 or 2?

When I first saw it I thought 'Californian'.

The colours remind me of the Ironstone Cab Franc label.

Right area, tiny cryptic clue in title...there now.

Red/ purple grapes and white hanging from the same old vine

Ok ... California to search.

Californian Method Champers - possibly.

Pinot Noir plus the whites in a mix. Mondavi Mumm, Mumm Napa.

Well done. I believe that the label is used for a variety of wines.
Can never forget JMs face when he tried the rocky-soil and gravelly-soil pair. He also said that it was the best wine he had ever tasted.

Cheers Ba, it is worth learning from a label quiz, and since I knew nothing - I must have missed that Oz & James May episode ? Here is a quick article.


The wines of John and Lorraine Alban from Edna valley

Alban Vineyards, 8575 Orcutt Road, Arroyo Grande, CA 93420 USA


On wine searcher I did find some viog starting at £15.00 (USD $ conversion) on sale in the States.

Thought you would like the Rhone Ranger, just up the road from Davy Crockett.
I think that this was the featured wine...
