FOLIO COLLIOURE BLANC 2009
Made from old vine Grenache Gris with a touch of Grenache Blanc. The grapes are refridgerated after picking and then are hand-sorted at the winery. They are crushed to barrel for wild ferment and around 6 months ageing on lees.
The 2009 exhibits wonderful natural acidity which compliments the voluptuous Grenache Gris and rich oak influence. The vintage was very small (30% down on 2008), but the grapes were in perfect health and the quality of the wine is very high. The 09 is already showing great intensity and richness.
