Emme The Sun Egg White 2023

Country: USA

Region: Russian River Valley

Type: White Wine

Grape: Muscat Vert

‘the sun egg’ is named after a book by Swedish author Elsa Beskow, about an elf who finds an orange in the woods.  It was one of winemaker Rosalind Reynolds's favorite stories as a child. This is the first vintage that Rosalind has produced this aromatic white cuvée. 

Organic farming. The fruit was pressed directly, settled overnight, and racked off gross lees to stainless steel for fermentation.  Once fermentation finished, the wine was placed into one small concrete egg and neutral oak barriques to age for 6 months. Indigenous yeast fermentation. Very low sulfur.  No other additions, unfined and unfiltered.
