The Wine

Source is 100% Chenin Blanc from a single 0.7-hectare parcel, planted in 2017 at an altitude of 70 m on a flat west-facing slope. The topsoil is a quartz-rich, schist-derived clay over green and black schist bedrock.

The 2022 Source was whole-cluster pressed and naturally fermented in 30 hl steel tanks for 4 days at 23°C maximum, and underwent full malolactic. It was bottled with no added sulfites and was not fined, nor filtered.

The 2023 Source was whole-cluster pressed and naturally fermented in 30 hl steel tanks for 4 days at 23°C maximum, and underwent full malolactic. It’s aged in 12 hl Tava clay amphoras and old 225L French oak for 8 months before it was bottled with 10 mg/L of total added sulfites, and was not fined, nor filtered.
