2020 Overmars

Hand harvested Chenin Blanc from 20 year old vines from clay/schist soils. Destemmed by hand and fermented on skins for 6 days. All the marks of a wine that expresses Chenin’s acidity and aromatic potential - soft and lilted, like a lazy lily swinging in a lush garden.

Hand harvested Chenin Blanc from 20 year old vines from clay/schist soils. Destemmed by hand and fermented on skins for 6 days. All the marks of a wine that expresses Chenin’s acidity and aromatic potential - soft and lilted, like a lazy lily swinging in a lush garden. It ticks the box for textural white lovers but also those who like a more subtle expression of orange wine.

We feel like it’s been a while since we’ve seen the wondrous wines of Domaine Mosse, so we are glad to welcome them back. There’s something about them that feels very aligned with Winona - their ethos, their fun. Domaine Mosse is based in the Loire Valley, a stalwart of organic viticulture, dedicated mostly to long-lived and life-changing expressions of Chenin Blanc. Agnès and René Mosse, have had a dramatic influence on other winemakers who’d worked with them to gain experience and then started making their own wines. Their two sons Sylvestre and Joseph have worked alongside Agnès and René every vintage, and now they run the show. Producing wines of exceptional purity and flavour while maintaining the high standards set by their parents and taking the wines in a direction that certainly feels progressive and purposeful.
