Stolpman Vineyards Uni Blanc Roussanne-Chardonnay 2020
Stolpman Vineyards Uni Blanc blends rich late-harvested Roussane with crisp and mineral deep-rooted Chardonnay. The nose unfolds as fresh honeysuckle via sweet pineapple, fleshy apricot and crunchy pear. Balanced by the complement forces of its varietals, this dry and full-bodied white delivers a seamless mouthfeel. Peach, tangerine oil, apricot and lemon zest are accompanied by notes of honeycomb and white florals. Closes in a precise and clean mineral finish.
70% Roussane and 30% Chardonnay. The fruit comes from Stolpman's Ballard Canyon vineyard in California. The limestone soils, ocean influence, and long growing season at Stolpman’s Ballard Canyon site make their vineyards ideal to bring out the richness of roussanne.
Pairs the umami flavours of late-harvested Roussanne with the crispness and minerality of early-harvested Chardonnay. Fermentation with native yeasts, stirring the fine lees in the barrel for added texture. The wine ages in neutral 500L oak puncheons.
