Item Description
This wine is a true Vin Gris, which is to say, made from bespoke grapes (not a by-product of red wine production), harvested at the appropriate ripeness level for its style, and receiving but minimal skin contact. The essential principle here is that less is truly more. The wine does not overwhelm one with fruitybombasticity; it¿s charms are seductively subtle. Discreet nose of alpine strawberry, evolving into a refreshing mintiness with additional air and warming. On the palate, a beautiful natural crispness and a great sleek and savory texture, in virtue of the extended lees contact/ bâtonnage the wine received postfermentation. Possibly the most elegant and complex Vin Gris de Cigare to date.
The grenache for our Vin Gris came from bespoke sections of the McDowell Valley, Mesa Verde, Rancho Solo and Ventana Vineyards, harvested at the appropriate maturity level for this elegant style of wine. About 15% of the wine is composed of traditional white Rhône varieties, which add a surprising richness and foundation. We also employed the practice of bâtonnage¿the stirring or re-suspension of lees after fermentation¿to give the wine a creaminess of texture.
