L'eau d'Range, 2018

Six years in old barrels before release, and it shows: a grippy, salty amber wine with the weight of a red.

Chardonnay and Savagnin from old vines in the Jura, fermented on their skins for seven weeks and then left in old barrels for six years. It pours amber and drinks broad and savoury: orange peel, dried apricot, bergamot tea and a little spice, with a salty line running right through and a gentle grip.
