2024 Terah Wine Co Aligoté

This white wine offers crisp character with notable minerality reminiscent of Chablis. The wine undergoes 10 months of lees aging in neutral barrels, which provides roundness and richness to balance its fresh acidity. The result is a wine with defined character that displays more snap and complexity than typical French Aligoté.
