Truchard Estate Roussanne 2023 750 ML (12 Bottles)

2023 was a near perfect vintage! Steady winter rains help ease the stress of several years of drought, then ideal springtime conditions allowed the vines to set an above-average crop. The very mild temperatures throughout the growing season resulted in one of the latest and longest harvests in the history of the Napa Valley. The wines of 2023 have exceptional depth, intensity, finesse, and balance.

The fruit was whole cluster pressed and fermented in French oak barrels (20%) new. After fermentation the wine remains in barrel on the lees (sur lie) for 6 months. A partial malolactic fermentation (30% complete) allows the wine to retain its natural acidity, while regular stirring of the lees (battonage) gives added complexity and richness. This wine was bottled in April 2024.
