FORLORN HOPE NACRE SEMILLON 2015 - Fearrington Village

FORLORN HOPE NACRE SEMILLON 2015

Crisp, racy and focused, with layer upon layer of flavor that opens up with time in the glass or a decant. Made in the style of Hunter Valley Sémillon, it is picked early for low alcohol and bright acidity, then left to develop slowly in bottle. The name Nacré means mother-of-pearl, a nod to its natural pairing with oysters.

Forlorn Hope is the project of winemaker Matthew Rorick, who seeks out rare grapes and overlooked vineyards across California. The Nacré comes from the Yount Mill Vineyard in Napa Valley, planted in the 1950s on a mix of alluvial loam, river cobble and volcanic soils. The vines are organically farmed and dry farmed. The fruit was hand picked, pressed whole cluster and fermented with native yeast in stainless steel.
