2022 Side E
A white Rhone blend of 53% Roussanne, 38% Viognier, and 9% Marsanne. Aromatics of orange blossom, mint, tree fruit, and honeyed lemon zest. Medium bodied with apricot, white peach, soft cheese rind, and spice. A bit more savory than the last vintage but still fresh and pure with a nice balance between fruit and acidity. The zesty finish lingers with tons of minerality.
Fermented and aged on lees in neutral French oak. This year all the Rhone whites were left to sit on skins for 24 hours prior to pressing. A long cold fermentation was used to preserve freshness. You’ll notice a bit more reductive style on the whites this year. I wanted to play around with a balance between savory and fruit and suspect you’ll like the result.
