2014 Forlorn Hope Nacre

Producer: Forlorn Hope 
Region: Napa Valley, California 
Varietal: Semillon  
Year: 2014 

Winemaker Notes: 

"The Nacré is produced in the same fashion as the Sémillons of Australia’s Hunter Valley and is capable of decades of aging. The wine bears the name Nacré -- meaning mother-of-pearl -- as a testament to its affinity for pairing with oysters. Crisp, racy and focused, with layer upon layer of flavor that opens up with decantation. 

The fruit for our 2014 Nacré was hand-picked and pressed whole cluster, and underwent spontaneous/native fermentation in stainless steel. Racked off lees at the completion of ferment, the wine was bottled in June of 2015 in order to allow the significant portion of the wine’s aging and development to occur under cork. To this end, it was aged six+ years in bottle prior to its release."
