Sang de Terre VDF Rouge 2023
Since Sylvie and Thierry decided in 2022 to bury 2 Georgian Qvevri in their garden, they knew they had to create something special with them. After experimenting with different grapes and maceration periods, they found their answer. They love Pinot Noir and chose to do very long macerations with it, leading to the creation of their cuvée Sang de Terre, which debuted with the 2022 vintage. After 10 months of maceration, they determined it was time to press the wine. Using a small bucket to remove the grapes, they pressed them with their wooden press. The wine then took a 1.5-month nap in a barrel before it was time to bottle!
