This head-trained vineyard sits smack dab in the middle of the Russian River Valley

planted at 150m altitude on silty loam soils with silica

and the grist does not sit more than 30 minutes before being transferred to the mash tun

wildly floral yet savory with a visceral depth

2022 Famille de Boel ‘Rue de Poulies’ Saint Joseph Blanc, France Haarmeyer This head-trained vineyard sits smackRue de Poulies Saint Joseph Blanc comes from a small parcel of fruit located in the St. Jean de Muzols area of Saint Joseph, this white is a 50 50 blend of Marsanne and Roussanne. The wine is racked 3 times in total before bottling, once after the pressing, once after the natural fermentation is complete, and once before bottling. Aging with the lees, and then some added time aging in bottle gives extraordinary texture and nuance to the final wine.
