Sequillo Cellar Sequillo White 2013

The 2013 Sequillo White has had one major change in that it did not ferment all in seperate casks, but the entire blend fermented together as a co–fermentation. And then was aged as such in the same big used foudre as was for the initial fermentation. The wine was bottled straight from the lees. The wine displays amazing harmony and elegance and in some ways is just much more subtle and smooth in every respect. There is a lifted fruit and purity in the wine and it is an amazing mineral expression of the predominant Granite soils.
