Groundwork, 2021 Counoise

Groundwork Counoise offers notes of agua de jamaica, cranberry, white pepper, violets, pomegranate, and oakmoss. Bright, playful, and resolute. A beauty once unheeded, this Counoise finds autonomy through exuberance.

Groundwork is all about the fundamentals. Putting to use the empirical knowledge he has gained from making wine for his first label, Sans Liege Wines, Curt Schalchlin seeks to bring his experience to a new set of wines that embrace the soul and simple living of the Rhône Groundwork is built upon Curt's comfort and confidence as a winemaker, instructing him to trust in the fruit, the vineyards, and his own rich experience as guides.
