Welcome to the Rewined family, The Blanc Collection!
..It’s about Blanc-ing time.
Following the creation of our Rosé fragrance in 2015, our first candle made using the clear bottles, we realized that we learned intriguing facts about this often misunderstood, popular varietal.
This inspired us to develop an entire collection based on the idea that learning about wine varietals through fragrance can be an enjoyable way to expand your wine knowledge and palate.
The Rewined Blanc Collection combines up-and-coming varietals, along with more old-world, established grapes, all of which are worthy of a little deeper exploration... and we can cheers to that!
