Voltor 2023 Vin Jaune He came from no winemaking

He came from no winemaking family

working old vines by hand and without chemicals

and velvety tannins that sit like soft flannel rather than a stiff suit

All or Nothing is the red

and the wine is fermented with its own yeasts and raised without fining

Voltor 2023 Vin Jaune He came from no winemakingVoltor is the Catalan word for vulture, which suits a wine carrying this much presence. Jessica Albero and Laurent Pujol make it on skins, drawing tannin and grip out of white grapes grown across seven hectares between Vingrau and Paziols. Their white plantings run to Macabeu and two kinds of Muscat, which in the Roussillon gives an aromatic starting point that maceration then roughens up considerably. Expect dried apricot, orange peel and a tea leaf
