Tasting Notes: Green Melon, Fresh Kiwi, River Rock
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 have evolved over the years, but remain rooted in a pleasant complexity, light aromatics and uplifting body. This vintage is made up of mostly Picpoul and Vermentino. 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.
