Winemaker Notes
A scintillating, aromatic orange wine from equal portions bright Grenache Blanc and rich Grenache Gris. A brief period of skin contact evokes mellow tannins that integrate wonderfully with the wine’s tropical and citrus notes. Auguste is a 15 days skin contact of de-stemmed grapes with a very light extraction. Mellow tannins very well integrated. Aromatic is intense with tropical notes, exotic fruit and citrus.
A small category representing the wines that either fall outside of appellation lines or don’t subscribe to the law and traditions set forth by the French government within certain classified appellations, “Vin De France” is a catch-all that includes some of the most basic French wines as well as those of superior quality. The category includes large production, value-driven wines. It also includes some that were made with a great deal of creativity, diligence and talent by those who desire to make wine outside of governmental restrictions. These used to be called Vin de Table (table wine) but were renamed to compete with other European countries' wines of similar quality.
