Marechal Foch

Old Vines Foch – very old vines, planted in the 1960s on gravelly soil with amazingly deep roots, this block crops like clock-work each vintage. Fruit is small berried, dark and rich but never jammy. Whole clusters, at 45% by weight are included in the wild yeast fermentation. After ~15 days, we press and send the young wine to barrels for malolactic fermentation and 10 months of aging in a variety of newer and neutral oak barrels.

This rustic wine is made with smoky BBQs and long summer evenings in mind; or hearty braised dishes and cold winter nights.
