The growing season of 2021 was warm and dry, with extreme temperature drops at night, allowing our Marsanne and Roussanne to maintain incredible acidity while developing beautiful, crisp aromatics. To capture the full expression, the grapes were picked at different ripeness levels over several weeks. This refreshing but nuanced wine is a much more acidic and lively representation of a Marsanne Roussanne. The earlier pick brought more minerality and energy, while the later pick provided a rich texture and ripe fruit notes. Distinct aromas of lemon zest, jasmine and wildflower honey are on the nose, with subtler tones of green pear, sweet lime and saline minerality on the palate. The broad textural fruit sweetness in the front of the mouth tapers beautifly to a long and energetic finish.
