Steady winter rains help ease the stress of several\u003cbr\u003eyears of drought, then ideal springtime conditions allowed the vines to set an above-average\u003cbr\u003ecrop. The very mild temperatures throughout the growing season resulted in one of the\u003cbr\u003elatest and longest harvests in the history of the Napa Valley. The wines of 2023 have\u003cbr\u003eexceptional depth, intensity, finesse, and balance.\u003cbr\u003eVineyard: Roussanne is a white varietal traditionally associated with the Northern Rhone,\u003cbr\u003ewhere it is blended with Marsanne to make white Hermitage wines. In 1998, three acres of\u003cbr\u003eRoussanne were planted on the southern end of the Truchard Estate Vineyard. Growing in\u003cbr\u003esoils composed of volcanic rock and ash, the vines benefit from the gently sloped terrain and\u003cbr\u003ecooler Carneros temperatures. Roussanne is a challenging grape in both the vineyard and\u003cbr\u003ewinery. However, when treated with care, it can produce an aromatic and delicate wine with\u003cbr\u003ethe necessary structure to age.\u003cbr\u003eHarvest: November 8 - 11 • 24.3 ºBrix • 3.32 pH • 6.8 g\/L TA\u003cbr\u003eWinemaking: The fruit was whole cluster pressed and fermented in French oak barrels\u003cbr\u003e(20%) new. After fermentation the wine remains in barrel on the lees (sur lie) for 6\u003cbr\u003emonths. A partial malolactic fermentation (30% complete) allows the wine to retain its\u003cbr\u003enatural acidity, while regular stirring of the lees (battonage) gives added complexity and\u003cbr\u003erichness. This wine was bottled in April 2024.\u003cbr\u003eWine Analysis: 14.1% alcohol • 3.36 pH • 6.5 g\/l TA\u003cbr\u003eTasting Notes: A subtle nose of honeysuckle, pineapple, and jasmine, with a hint of\u003cbr\u003ebrioche and vanilla. The mouth is crisp, with clean flavors of nectarine, melon, and lychee.\u003cbr\u003eBright acidity provides a lengthy finish of citrus, mineral, and spice.\u003cbr\u003eRelease Date: June 1, 2024\u003cbr\u003eCases Produced: 1,425 cases\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Truchard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42975912263904,"sku":"108509","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/truchard-roussanne_1.jpg?v=1663889319","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/truchard-roussanne-2020-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
