Tasting Notes

The 2024 vintage White is a combination of three Rhône varietals that each play a role in this finished blend. Roussanne leads creating an opulent texture, followed by Viognier lending its beautiful aromatics and Picpoul Blanc offering bright acidity. This blend features stone fruit (white peach, apricot), lemon curd, sweet fruit blossoms, a honeyed undertone and a citrusy saline mineral finish. To take advantage of the energetic acidity, one can enjoy this blend in its youth or to develop the richer complexities of a Roussanne-led wine, one could lay it down for a few years. Either way, the 2024 White is a marvelous apéritif or pairing with delicate seafood dishes or creamy textured cheeses.

Winemaking | Élevage

Varietals were handpicked on September 2 through 15th and gently whole cluster pressed. After cold settling, the wine was gradually fermented at cool temperatures over a 3-week period in a combination of amphora, new and neutral French oak and stainless steel. Partial malolactic fermentation. Batonnage was performed throughout primary and secondary fermentation. This wine is aged on the lees for 7 months in 40% new French oak, 27% neutral French oak, 18% amphora and 15% stainless steel.
