Grenache Noir & Chardonnay

A wine that is very special to us – but also special in general. In 2019 we wanted to make a white wine of Chardonnay, but the white juice didn’t please us, so we added first a white juice from a direct press of Grenache Noir, which helped. But it didn’t really give the wine what we wanted; therefore, we made a decision to add also the rosé juice and a small portion of destemmed grapes of Grenache Noir. The grapes macerated in the juice for a little more than 6 weeks. From here the wine went into to Demi-Muid until it was bottled in August 2023. No topping up, no soutirage. It has a hint of oxidation, still 35 grams of unfermented sugars from the grapes. So, a red wine with tannins as light as a rosé and another character, then what we normally make. Richer in both structure, sweetness and flavors in general – and oxidative.
