nuit Blanche — 2022
orange blossom macerated wine
A golden honeycomb color, Nuit Blanche is a macerated riesling with loads of tropical fruit. With hints of donut peach, white flowers, orange blossom, meyer lemon, and maybe a little petrol, the palate has a balance of grip and snap.
This hazy, juicy, fresh and funky wine is mouthwatering and goes down (perhaps too?) easy.

vinification & élevage
Grapes are picked and gently crushed for an overnight soak. After pressing, there is a brief settling period before fermentation in a combination of foudre, barrel and composite egg.
The finished wine is aged on the fine lees and blended before bottling.
