2017 Bodega Aniello Trousseau

"This grape originated in Jura in northeast France, between Burgundy to the west and Switzerland to the east; it’s also grown in Spain and Portugal, but we were thrilled to taste this graceful version from the Southern Hemisphere. Made with estate fruit grown in vineyards planted in 1932, it wowed us with aromas of orange peel and cherry pith that lead to a willowy palate on a firm foundation. Grenache-like in color and texture, it offers up flavors of an earthy, leafy nature, with white-peppered cranberry taking the reins. A kiss of rose petal appears on the nimble finish." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"The 2016 Bodega Aniello Trousseau is a pale ruby red color, with aromas of red fruits, orange peel and earthy undertones. Good weight with fine-grain tannins, and a long, fresh finish."
