Black Sheep Finds-Holus Bolus, Roussanne Bien Nacido Vineyard

Holus Bolus Blanc is made entirely from Roussanne grapes grown at Bien Nacido, a biodynamically farmed vineyard in Santa Maria Valley. Harvested in September, the grapes were immediately pressed. The juice was chilled and settled overnight before being placed in barrels for fermentation with indigenous yeasts. The wine underwent only partial malolactic, to help preserve its natural freshness and acidity. After aging in oak for 12 months, it was then held in stainless steel for an additional 2 months before bottling. Golden yellow color with aromas of herbal tea and yellow apples. There is bright acidity giving way to excellent length and texture. Vintage: 2017 Varietals: Roussanne Farming: Organic, Unfiltered/Unfined
