Amevive Marsanne 2023
This wine hails from remote, sandy benches of the historic Ibarra‑Young Vineyard—planted in 1973—where the Marsanne vines grow on own‑rooted, organically farmed soils under regenerative practice deerparkwines.com+13amevivewine.com+13mcf-rarewine.com+13. About 20% of the fruit was de-stemmed and fermented with 10 days of skin contact, while the rest was gently pressed and fermented in neutral French oak. It spent 18 months on its lees with no added sulfur, then was bottled unfined and unfiltered
Tasting Notes:
Delicate yet captivating—think honeysuckle and lemongrass on the nose, followed by crisp citrus, white flowers, and a lean, mineral-driven palate. Despite its texture, it remains surprisingly fresh and precise, with a saline lift and elegant length
Food Pairing:
Enjoy it with pan‑seared scallops and cauliflower puree—the wine’s citrus lift and minerality bring harmony to the sweetness and texture. Feeling playful? Try it with buttered popcorn and Parmesan—trust me, it's simple, fun, and the fresh acidity keeps every bite light.
