2021 Walter Scott, X Saxa Vineyard Aligote, Eola-Amity Hills, USA
$49.99
From the domaine:
Aligoté, the other notable white grape of Burgundy, is experiencing a resurgence in its home as well as in the new world. Traditionally blended with Chardonnay or made into the classic Kir cocktail, this variety was exiled in 1937 to the appellation of Bouzeron where it was quietly enjoyed by the local Burgundians. In the Willamette Valley, Aligoté embraces everything we love about acid, tension, and minerality, so we began searching for a great Aligoté vineyard.
The grapes are lightly crushed prior to pressing. The fermentation takes place with native yeast and is aged on its lees in two 350 liter barrels for ten months. Our Aligoté holds onto 25% of its malic acid, bringing a brilliant tension to the wine.
