Description

Broc Cellars Trousseau Noir 2021

85% Trousseau Noir and 15% Zinfandel. The fruit for this wine comes from Wirth Ranch on the western edge of Solano County Green Valley, a small area located just southeast of Napa Valley. Wirth Ranch is planted on steep-sloped, iron-rich volcanic soils. Steve Wirth farms the vineyard organically and took over the property from his father. The Zinfandel is a younger planting growing next to the Trousseau vines.

Taste profile: Broc Cellars Trousseau Noir makes for an elegant appearance with its light ruby red colour. The nose opens to creme de cassis aromas before evolving into flavours of spiced plums on the palate.

100% destemming and fermentation of the Trousseau Noir and Zinfandel grapes together in open top stainless fermenters. After pressing, the wine moves into concrete tank for 6 months. No filtering before bottling.

Bright & Easy Reds

Easy drinking red wines with bright fruit aromas and low tannins. The wines are often released without much aging in tank, oak barrels or bottle, and are meant to be drunk early

These wines typically can be nejoyed without food, and are usually served cooler. They can be light bodied wines like Beaujolais, or light extraction styles that do not emphasize tannin & color extraction
