Domaine Marc Portaz 'Apremont' Vin de Savoie 2023

"Winemaker Jean-Marc Portaz studied winemaking in Dijon, traveling to California and New Zealand to further his education in and understanding of white wines. He practices sustainable farming, caring for his older Jacquère vines, between 30 and 50 years old, as naturally as possible, avoiding the use of pesticides.

Grapes are harvested by hand, and fermented on indigenous yeasts in temperature controlled, stainless steel tanks. Wine is aged on fine lees in tank.

Pure Jacquère, a native white grape to the mountainous Savoie region in France. This refreshing wine is naturally low alcohol (usually 11.5%), making it a great pick-me-up after a long day. Aromas suggest honeysuckle, crushed stones, white pepper; it is bone dry, tangy and palate-cleansing." -Importer notes
