100% Vaccarèse
Vaccarèse is one of the rarest grapes in Chateauneuf-du-Pape, with just over 10 acres planted there. As far as we know, this is one of two vineyards in North America that grows this grape. In 2023 the Vaccarèse spent 14 days on the skins with 50% whole cluster inclusion. After fermentation, the wine was pressed and aged in neutral French oak barrels for 10 months. This wine feels undeniably Rhône-esque but with added rustic characteristics reminiscent of Mondeuse.
Red fruited with orange peel and peppercornd and pencil shavings.
