France | Loire | Domaine Adèle Rouzé | Quincy

Quincy

Varietal
Sauvignon Blanc

Notes
SOIL: Sand & gravel

VINEYARDS: Old vines on estate parcels, that face south/south-east

VINE AGE: 80 years

FARMING: Non-certified organic

VINIFICATION: Grapes are picked and pressed, with careful effort to eliminate the last juice of the pressing, which often contains bitter and herbal flavors. A 24 hour cold soak starts the process, then the temperature is raised and fermentation takes place with native yeasts in stainless steel. The wine is fermented dry, racked once, aged on its lees, fined with bentonite, filtered and cold stabilized.

TASTING NOTES: A Sauvignon Blanc that shows wonderful citrus fruit, fresh cut grass aromas, and a long and clean minerally presence. Zippy and edgy, the wine picks up depth in the glass and remains bursting with energy through the finish.
