Variety: Brianna
Location: Vergennes, Vermont
Alcohol: 11.5%

Heady floral and white peach aromas with salinity and nuttiness on the palate, a textured mouthfeel and bracing acidity.

Loup d'Or is made from 100% Brianna, a white grape with DNA from several Muscats, Grenache Blanc, Schiava, Bourboulenc, and Tibourin Gris. The fruit was fermented whole cluster for 2 days, then destemmed, foot crushed and pressed directly. It sees extended aging on its less in glass demijohns, where it develops flor, the unique layer of yeast present in Sherry and Jura.

Handpicked from Vergennes vineyard, comprised of clay and calcareous soil, lacustrine silt sediment (historically this land used to be sea and lakebed.)
