50% Chardonnay and 50% Savagnin from Côtes du Jura, France; medium bodied and dry with notes of Bartlett pear, banana skin, apple, and papaya, with rich nutty creamy notes (we got canoli cream, marzipan, cheesecake, and butter), hints of hazelnuts and cantaloupe, with medium plus acid and a solid mineral backbone. Somehow this wine manages to be rich and lean at the same time. Organic
From 40 year old vines (converted organic in 2018), grapes were hand harvested and vineyard sorted in September of 2021. These undergo a cold soak for 4 days, and spend 2 days on their skins. These are then left to ferment (spontaneously; ambient yeast) for 35 days in earthen amphora. This spends 12 months on its lees and was bottled in August of 2022 before being released in 2023.
