Vieilles Vignes
Vivacous lighter more refreshing wines may be sparkling, white or rosé, and also may be sweet or dry. However, all are on the brighter and tangier end of the flavor spectrum and will never feature oaky flavors.
FOOD PAIRING: Flattering with almost EVERYTHING, but best for RAW & COLD FOODS, LOW-FAT FOODS & SPICY FOODS.

Description
Tasting Notes
The fruit for our Vieilles Vignes Blanc is harvested from the heart of the cool Russian River Valley appellation from three distinctive vineyards: Ritchie, Ricioli and Fanucchi-Wood Road. The Ritchie Vineyard vines are over 40 years old and yield small clusters with ripe skins and concentrated flavors. The Ricioli Vineyard has an alluvial clay-loam soil composition and is planted to the Musque clone of Sauvignon Blanc lending floral aromas to the wine. Fanucchi-Wood Road is an organically grown and dry-farmed vineyard with the vines receiving great sun exposure resulting in bright fruit flavors.
WinemakingAroma:Vibrant floral scents of lemon blossom and zesty orange marmalade burst forth from the glass.
Palate:Opulent and revitalizing flavors enchant the palate, teasing with delicate notes of white peach, succulent pear, and crisp lime zest. This wine showcases seamlessly integrated acidity that gracefully persists through its prolonged, refreshing finish. A truly enchanting and revitalizing white wine experience.
Tech NotesVintage Notes:The grapes were hand-harvested and whole-cluster pressed and fermented in neutral oak barrels prior to bottling.
