Description
Jonathan doesn't make a lot of white wine. And when he does, it's from dark grapes. Like this wine, made from Cabernet Franc among other things. By pressing the grapes, the skins have little chance to give color to the juice. Mixed with Chardonnay a fine, soft white wine, that still blushes a little. Rinse apple, white almond, after an hour open -or a quick carafe- even a little fuller attack and more open.
