Vivanterre - SGS Orange (2021)
STAFF PICK
A very special blend of Sylvaner, Gewurztraminer, and Ugni Blanc grapes. The Gewurztraminer and Ugni Blanc saw maceration on their skins. All grapes are from farms that use organic practices, and which were specifically selected for the quality of the farmers’ work, terroir, and fruit. Legal organic certification for these farms are expected in 2021.
All were vinified separately and blended just before bottling. A true Vin de France. There was no fining, filtering, or SO2 added during any phase of winemaking. Wines were aged until March 2020, when blending took place, just before bottling. The harvesting, wine making, and elevage was done by Patrick Bouju and Justine Loiseau.
