White Blend //​ Sigurd

Flinty sulfides start off with the wine opening up to a preserved lemon peel, with gooseberry and floral notes coming through. Textually phenolic on the palate with the preserved lemon coming through and long, fine acid driving the finish.

Winemaking

Gewürztraminer was fermented on skins for 10 days before pressing into old French oak barriques. Sauvignon Blanc started fermenting on skins for 2 days then pressed to stainless steel tank to finish. Riesling was the last come in and was whole bunch pressed to a re-conditioned 100-yr-old oak foudre, where it stayed until bottling in December. Semillon spent 4 days on skins then pressed to stainless steel as well. All left on lees till late November before being racked and bottled 2 weeks later.
