100% organic Roussanne, skin-fermented — essentially an orange wine.
Roussanne is not an easy variety to grow, but when it thrives, it yields a wine that is rich in flavor and silky in texture. The grapes were hand-harvested at night from our organic vineyard in Shfaya Valley in mid-August. In the early morning, the fruit arrived at the winery, was destemmed and crushed, and began fermenting on the skins. After four days the skins were separated, and the wine continued to ferment and age in large barrels for several months. The result is a medium-bodied wine with a smooth, texture and aromas of floral nectar, honey, apricot, and herbal tea. The finish is long and persistent. Certified organic wine.
