"A wine that are very special to us – but also special in general. In 2019 we wanted to make a white wine of Chardonnay, but the white juice didn’t please us, so we added first a white juice from a direct press of Grenache Noir, which helped. But it didn’t really give the wine what we wanted; therefore we took the decision to add also the rosé juice and a small portion of destemmed grapes of Grenache Noir. The grapes macerated in the juice for a little more than 6 weeks. From there the wine went into to demi-muid, where it has been ever since. No topping up, no soutirage.

With a hint of oxidation, still 35 grammes of unfermented sugars from the grapes. So, a red wine with tannins as light as a rosé and another character then what we normally make, richer in both structure, sweetness and flavours in general – and oxidative."
