Tasting Notes: Lemon rind, cantaloupe, and sea salt.
THE STORY: Love White is that easy-drinking, high quality white that’s always there when the moment arises. The varieties in our Rhône inspired blend has evolved over the years, but remains rooted in its pleasant complexity, light aromatics and uplifting body. This vintage is made up of mostly Picpoul and Vermentino from our Fox Hill Vineyard. To complete the blend we added a little Clairette, Grenache Blanc and Chenin Blanc which added inviting aromatics, pleasant acidity and balance. Another vintage of Love White we can’t get enough of.
All white grapes receive a light footstomp on arrival at the winery. It’s an important step for two reasons: We like the complexity the short skin contact gives the wine and, more functionally, treading breaks up the clusters to better fit everything into the press. After a gentle press, the wine goes into mostly neutral barrique with a small fraction into stainless steel tank where it’s fermented and aged.
FUN FACT: Vermentino isn’t just an Italian grape. A little is also grown in France where it’s known as Rolle.
