Truchard Vineyards

2023 Roussanne

 

Vineyard: 3 acres of Roussanne were planted on the southern edge of Truchard Vineyards in 1998. Growing in soils composed of volcanic rock and ash, the vines benefit from the gently sloped terrain and cooler Carneros temperatures. Roussanne is a challenging grape in both the vineyard and winery. However, when done correctly it can produce an aromatic and delicate wine with structure and finesse to age.

Winemaking: All of the fruit was whole cluster pressed and fermented in French oak barrels (20%) new.  After fermentation the wine remains in barrel on the lees (sur lie) for 6 months.  A partial malolactic fermentation (30% complete) allows the wine to retain its natural acidity, while regular stirring of the lees (battonage) gives added complexity and richness.  This wine was bottled in April 2024.

Harvest:  Oct. 31 – Nov. 13  •  24.5 ºBrix  •  3.33 pH  •  7.2 g/L TA   Alcohol: 14.1% 

Release Date: June 1, 2024
