Tropical Vacation in a Glass!

The wine was fermented slowly and coldly in a stainless steel fermenter and has had no contact with oak. With aromas of grapefruit, coconut, pineapple, banana, honeydew and papaya, this wine is a tropical vacation in a glass! A sharp, fresh and zesty palate with great acidity and elegant finish rounds out this spunky summer wine. Sauvignon Vert is correctly known as Muscadelle and along with Sauvignon blanc and Sémillon, makes up a white Bordeaux blend. Although it shares a strong grape-y aroma with members of the Muscat family, Muscadelle is a distinctly Bordelais variation on the theme.

Gentle, soft, earthy aromatics with overtones of plum jam, strawberry, chocolate and butter.  Full-bodied, well-structured tannins complemented by rich red raspberry, clove and pepper flavors.

Primitivo is an Italian varietal which is similar to a high quality Zinfandel. The grapes for this wine were grown by cousin, James Nichelini, in his Chiles Valley "Jimmynick" vineyard. Only 116 cases of this awesome wine were produced after aging in small French oak barrels for 32 months.
