Tasting Notes: Green Melon, Fresh Kiwi, River Rock

Love White is that easy-drinking, high quality white thats always there when the moment arises. The varieties in our Rhone 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 cant get enough of.

All white grapes receive a light footstomp on arrival at the winery. Its 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 its fermented and aged.

FUN FACT: Vermentino isnt just an Italian grape. A little is also grown in France where its known as Rolle.

All Broc Cellar wines are made using spontaneous fermentation, which means only native yeasts and bacteria that exist on the grapes are used to make wine. We dont add anything this includes nutrients, yeast, bacteria, enzymes, tannins or other popular fermentation agents. Sulphur is a naturally occurring element in all wine, the amount found can vary. Sulphur is never added during fermentation and aging. We add little to no S02 at bottling, depending on the wine, year and style.
