Production Details We have one block on the farm that is quite different from all the other blocks. Because it sits at the bottom of a steep slope, as well as being very close to a river, it has a number of different geological influences: there are multiple soil types in this small block. Faced with this difficult situation, we tried to turn it into a positive and decided to plant a mix of varieties that could be picked together to make up one wine. In 2024, most of the grapes were picked in multiple passes. It was then pressed and co-fermented together. The juice was barrel fermented in neutral oak — just a small percentage (±5%) of new oak was used. It was aged for 9 months in barrel and tank with regular lees stirring. This wine is barrel fermented in mostly neutral French oak enhancing a beautifully textured mouthfeel. The wine undergoes only a light fining and is bottled with minimal filtration, ensuring a pure and expressive profile. Led by Roussanne, it offers a delicate floral perfume, well-structured body and balanced acidity.
