FOREIGN FRIENDS 'JEANNE' 2024 SAVAGNIN
Fermented, bottled, waxed and labelled by hand.
Meet 'Jeanne.' She has a beautiful aromatic bouquet with notes of spices like dried ginger, and white fruits; peach and nectarine, becoming more floral as it sits in the glass. On the palate, this wine is very fresh and focused, offering lots of texture with vibrant acidity.
These Savagnin grapes began their journey amongst the honey hued trees of the high country. From there, they were cold soaked on skins, fermented, then aged in French barriques over the winter and spring, arriving here to make your acquaintance today.
BEST PAIRED WITH: Grilled fish, White meats, Comté and Creamy sauce dishes.
REVIEWS
"This has the succulence, richness and depth of the variety with a cool, fresh finish and a general sense of slipperiness and ripeness. Tonic water, green pear, apple, ginger, cumin, some ginger beer and cider. Some pleasing, very varietal saltiness in the mix. An elegant, medium to fuller weight wine of immense character and charisma." 93 points by Mike Bennie I The Wine Front
