Wildly floral and subtly savory, the palate is light yet layered, with refreshing acidity, gentle skin-contact texture and an elegant finish that carries a quiet depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade from 100% Trousseau Gris, a rare grey-skinned grape, this wine comes from Fanucchi-Wood Road Vineyard in Sonoma County’s Russian River Valley. Planted in 1981, these distinctive old vines are dry-farmed and organically cultivated. The grapes were harvested early to preserve acidity, whole-cluster foot-crushed and cold-soaked on their skins for three days to develop texture and a luminous hue. Native yeasts carried out a slow fermentation in stainless steel and neutral puncheons before the wine aged for six months in neutral oak, preserving its freshness and aromatic lift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 2010 by Scott and Jenny Schultz, Jolie-Laide is a boutique Sonoma County winery dedicated to unconventional beauty and California’s lesser-known grape varieties. Named for the French expression meaning “pretty-ugly,” the winery embraces low-intervention winemaking and thoughtful sourcing from independent growers. Rather than following a fixed recipe, winemaker Scott Schultz allows each vintage to express its own character, crafting distinctive wines that celebrate the individuality of their grapes and vineyards.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jolie-Laide","offers":[{"title":"750 ml","offer_id":67812938219837,"sku":null,"price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/2931\/0781\/files\/Jolie-Laide-The-Empress-Sonoma-County-Trousseau-Gris-2025.jpg?v=1793065549","url":"https:\/\/shopgeraldines.com\/products\/jolie-laide-the-empress-sonoma-county-trousseau-gris-2025","provider":"Geraldine's Natural Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
