Jolie-Laide, led by winemaker Scott Schultz, is celebrated for crafting minimal-intervention wines that highlight unique varietals and exceptional vineyard sites. The 'Fanucchi-Wood Road Vineyard' Trousseau Gris is a distinctive expression from one of the few remaining plantings of this rare grape in California.
- WINEMAKER: Scott Schultz
- FARMING: Practicing organic; dry-farmed vines
- VARIETY: 100% Trousseau Gris
- TERROIR: The Fanucchi-Wood Road Vineyard, planted in the late 1970s, is located in the Russian River Valley. The gnarly, massive-trunked vines thrive in sandy loam soils, benefiting from the region's cool climate and fog influence, which contribute to the wine's vibrant acidity and complex aromatics.
- VINIFICATION: Grapes are hand-harvested and whole-cluster foot-crushed, followed by a three-day maceration on the skins to extract color and phenolics. Fermentation occurs naturally with indigenous yeasts in a combination of stainless steel and neutral puncheons.
- AGING: The wine is aged for a short period in neutral puncheons to preserve freshness and enhance textural complexity.
- TASTING NOTES: Pale coral in hue, this wine offers aromas of wild pomelo, summer melon, and stone fruits, interwoven with notes of white tea and sweet earth. The palate is light and pretty, with a visceral depth, showcasing flavors of melon, lemon peel, mint, and peaches and cream, leading to a finessed length and elegant finish.
- FOOD PAIRINGS: Pairs beautifully with shellfish, light salads, and dishes featuring fresh herbs and citrus elements.
