Domaine du Gringet Vin de Savoie Ayze "Chez Edouard"

A Vin de Savoie from Ayze, made by Domaine du Gringet from organic and biodynamic farming. "Chez Edouard" is a vineyard set apart from the rest, surrounded by woodland and houses. It is a high-altitude site facing due south, so ripening is slow but thorough, and it is always the last vineyard to be picked. The vines are bush-trained and hold a wide mix of old plants, including a few pink Gringet vines. The grapes are pressed gently for seven hours and fermented with native yeasts. The wine spends nine months on fine lees in a stoneware jar, is bottled without fining or filtration, then rests ten months in bottle. Only a very small amount of sulphur is added.
