As you may be able to guess from the name, this is our take on the traditional Vin Jaune of the Jura. This has been a long time in the making and is a barrel fermented organic Sauvignon Blanc which has been aged under flor for six-and-a-half years, moving with us between three winery sites.
The name is a little sentimental, it is named Vin Jeanne (pronounced zhahn) after my Oma (grandmother) who was a consummate hospitality professional and entertainer. The wine FULL NOISE but is still incredibly fresh with super-ripe tropical (pineapple and mango) notes layered on creamy oak with notes of saffron, walnut, umami and a hint of wildness (this wine has been in barrel under flor for six years, it has a hint of pleasant volatility on the finish).
The wine is best enjoyed cold at the start of a meal or with nutty, aged NZ cheese.
