NV Maui Blanc - Hawaiian Pineapple Wine
Made from the juice of pineapples, this white wine comes from Tedeschi Vineyards on Maui, Hawaii. Described as “a soft, dry, fruity wine with an unmistakable pineapple bouquet,” the winemakers hit the nail on the head when they printed the labels for this one. Unfortunately, some of it’s golden color comes from caramel additives. However, for pineapple upside down cake fans, your joy can now be had in liquid form. The aroma is bursting with caramelized pineapple and greets a dry palate with a subtle flavor that is just fine on it’s own.

Hey Jate…where did you hear about that additive? I reviewed this wine over at Wine Sediments for my 50 in 50 and I didn’t know that…you have an inside informant that I need to bribe for information?

Sorry for the late reply, just got back from my anniversary trip.
Actually, we got that bottle about 3 years ago as a gift, it appears that they have changed the label since then as that info was printed right on the back.

I loved it. Was pretty damn good. Dry as hell but damn good with seafood. It really added that extra punch with the halibut. Just ordered 6 bottles as christmas gifts so hopefuly they enjoy it as much as I did.

Discovered this gem of a wine during our last week on Oahu (January 29-Feb. 1). Loved it!!! Anybody know if there’s a website for ordering delivery if available? Tks.

Hi Carol,
It appears you can order direct from the website, although I’m not sure if they can ship to BC. I’d give them a call before ordering…

Discoverd this wine at the local Cost Plus World Market….Wow! Nice aroma and flavor…..and Yes very dry. Since I love using wines when cooking I replace the water I used in my Pineapple upside down cakes with this wine…..This makes for some of the best Pineapple upside down cake I have ever tasted. Give it a try, you won’t regret it.
