Unit price per
100% Soreli
A partnership between winemakers Arnaud Combier, Francois de Nicolay of Chandon de Briailles (Savigny), and Jeff Carrel, the estate delivers exceptional wines from Beaujolais appellations. Soreli means "little sun" in the Friulian language, reflecting its golden fruit. Soreli has become a prized grape in natural wine making due to its immunity to downy and powdery midlew. Harvest is destemmed and fermented with native yeasts in concrete tanks. Gently extracted using punching technique. Macerated for 15 days on the skins. Pressed and aged partially in stainless steel tanks and in large wooden foudre. Minimal amount of sulfites added before bottling.
Red currants and sour cherry lead with crushed herbs, white pepper, and a faint earthy finish. Light with gentle grip and a saline snap. Delectable.
