Counoise is a varietal from the Rhone Valley of France, just like Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvedre also hail from that region. Counoise is typically used in blending, and not bottled on its own. Why?...Frankly, because most people don't know techniques to produce a Counoise that is good enough on its own. However, our man Curt from Sans Liege and Groundwork figured out a way to coax the best attributes from this grape to put into the bottle!
Curt fremented the grapes on native yeast, using 100% whole cluster and left on the skins for 21 days. Bright, crunchy, and poppy, with notes of cranberry, white pepper, rosewater, rhubarb, agua de jamaica.
