Broc Cellars "Love White" California, 2020

A leader of California’s third wave of naturally-focused winemaking, Broc Cellars’ wines are made from grapes grown without the use of synthetic pesticides, fungicides or herbicides. Namesake founder Chris Brockway focuses on organically farmed grapes to produce spontaneously fermented wines using only native yeasts and bacteria that exist on the grapes with nothing synthetic added during the winemaking process. The Love White is Broc’s accessible, affordable, daily white blend made according to the winery’s strict natural tenets, but in more significant quantities. The wine is a four-varietal blend of organic grapes that were hand-harvested at night in August to preserve the fruit and acidity. Each varietal was whole-cluster-pressed, separately fermented and aged on lees in neutral containers. This unfiltered and unfined beauty is an homage to the whites of the southern Rhone merging bright tropical fruit and citrus with dry minerality. Varietal Composition: 46% Marsanne, 38% Grenache
