Hervé Villemade Les Acacias 2018

Origin: Loire, France
Grapes: Romorantin

Direct press and cold racking of the gross lees for 18 to 24 hours. It is fermented in stainless steel tanks and concrete vats and aged in stainless steel and fiberglass on the lees. After malo, a racking is done, and 1 gram of S02 is added per hectoliter. A light earth filtration is done before bottling and 1 to 1.5 grams of S02 per hectoliter are added at bottling.

‘Les Acacias’ comes from the estate's two oldest Romorantin vineyards. Powerful, racy aromatics coupled with a core of warm, polished white stones, sea salt and dried white nectarine—if drinking now, decant and serve with poached chicken, swordfish and decadent cheeses; will also cellar well for another five years.
