Saxum Vineyards The Hexe, Paso Robles Willow Creek District, USA 2021 Sparkling Wine Roussanne 20%

Roussanne 20%

It's a subtle and elegant Alión

Fermented in stainless steel and aged in one to three year-old barriques and cement

and it reminds me of a great Saint-Julien from Bordeaux

A supremely complex and well-structured wine

Saxum Vineyards The Hexe, Paso Robles Willow Creek District, USA 2021 Sparkling Wine Roussanne 20%Hexe can have two meanings, to perform magic or, simply, a witch. I like them both when applied to this wine. It is a multi vineyard cuve that is built around Grenache. Not just any old Grenache. We are selecting our blackest, most wicked Grenaches, the ones that we know will benefit from 33 months aging in various large puncheons or concrete amphora. The heart of this cuve is the oldest block at James Berry Vineyard, a South facing hilltop Grenache
