Grolleau Noir & Gris

but of greatest importance is that a Martin Woods wine promotes the classic qualities of purity

with its 12 hectars of land

Its identity and its particularity give a unique style to this wine signed Pascal Jolivet

to ensure that only healthy whole berries were transferred into concrete fermentation tanks

Cold maceration lasts a few days

And if the outstanding quality is not enough

always the most forward of the premier crus and quite popular on wine lists due to its early appeal

and the handful of barrels stashed in a dark cellar underneath the family home

with a focus on sustainability and meticulous vineyard management

and from hillsides (including terraces) and pre-clonal vines the like of which you will not find being cultivated in most of Mittelburgenland

Herb grew up in the famed Quady Family in California’s Central Valley
