Broc Cellars Love White 2019

California, United StatesBroc Cellars is a self-identified natural winery based in Berkeley, California, home to food and wine icons like Kermit Lynch and Alice Waters. This 90/10 chenin blanc and chardonnay blend smells, well, natural. It's packaged in a can for quick and easy enjoyment, but don't think this is a gimmick. The fruit was spontaneously fermented and aged for 11 months in a combination of neutral French oak, Stockinger oak puncheons, and sandstone jars. Surely a first for any canned wine. It shows honeyed orchard fruit, hay, and an oxidative note with bright, tangy acidity and a saline finish that lingers with some bitterness. A fun wine worth discovering.Tasted: 30 March 2021Tasted by: Geoffrey Moss MWPrices:
