Tasting Notes

Vinification

All varieties hand-picked. Roussanne picked on the 27th March and the Grenache Blanc, Grenache Gris, Bourboulenc and Clairette on the 3rd of April. Portions of the Grenache Blanc and Roussanne destemmed and crushed to ceramic egg for macerated on skins for an extended period, on average 120 days. The remaining batches were whole bunch basket pressed, and only the very lightest pressings are kept separate to be considered for the final blend. These are un-fined, unsettled and fermented exclusively in ceramic eggs. No sulphur is added until the completion of fermentation or the extended skin contact portions are removed from skins. Matured in ceramic egg after blending for a further 4 months. 59% of the final blend was skin contacted. Bottled December 2022.

Range Notes

Inspired by the textural white wines of the Southern Rhne, Ovitelli Blanc brings these traditional varieties together in blended harmony. Gently fermented and aged with skin contact in large ceramic eggs.

Vintage Notes

The 2022 growing season followed very similar conditions to 2021, though slightly cooler. There were favourable winter rains and a mild flowering and fruit set period. The cool ripening period took place between late January through to harvest in March. Yields were well balanced, and we were pleased with the fruit ripeness, intensity, freshness, and natural acidity.
