Hans Herzog 'Mistral' 2019

The Hans Herzog ‘Mistral’ 2019 is a brilliant Rhone-inspired blend of Viognier, Marsanne, and Roussanne that showcases the beauty of these varietals in perfect harmony. The wine opens with heady aromas of honeyed quince, orange peel, and golden stone fruit drizzled with lavender honey, inviting the senses into a world of richness and complexity. On the palate, the wine reveals a full-bodied texture, layered with vibrant fruit flavors and a captivating minerality that evokes the essence of a Mediterranean herb garden. The contribution of Marsanne and Roussanne adds delightful floral notes, spice, and lively acidity, creating a wine with excellent balance and depth.

Aged in a 500L French oak puncheon on its fine lees for 18 months, this wine develops a silky, smooth mouthfeel and a long, lingering finish that continues to delight. The wild yeast fermentation and careful aging process ensure that this wine retains its purity and expressive character, with no fining, cold stabilization, or filtering. The result is a wine that offers the complexity of a traditional Rhone blend, while maintaining a bright and lively finish that makes it a true pleasure to enjoy, both now and in the years to come.
