“These are always the last of our old vines Le Puits Sec to be picked. We coferment the harvest of the 1986 Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer along with our 2001 planting of trace amounts of Pinot Blanc, Traminer, Rieslaner, Kerner and Grüner Veltliner. Yes, this year the Grüner went into the Blanc du Puits Sec blend. Since all of those varietals ripen at slightly different times my goal was to find the happy time when the subtle differences in ripeness from each varietal would add complexity. To further that philosophy I cofermented them all in stainless steel. You are greeted by an intoxicating nose of rose petal with hints of lime and other floral notes. On the palate more lime with lime zest coming in and hints of spice on the finish.” - Erin Nuccio
