Description
Etraz is a dry white wine produced by Domaine du Gringet in Ayze, in the Savoie region of France. Made from Gringet grapes grown in a south-facing vineyard on a soil composed of limestone debris, this wine represents a clear expression of the terroir through uncertified biodynamic farming practices and organic management awaiting certification.
The winemaking process begins with a slow pressing of 4-7 hours, followed by a 24-hour settling. Fermentation is spontaneous, conducted by indigenous yeasts. Aging takes place for 9 months on the lees in egg-shaped concrete containers, followed by an additional 10 months of bottle aging before release.
The bouquet opens with scents of white-fleshed fruit, lemon zest, and wildflowers, accompanied by a hint of wet stone. On the palate, it is fresh and linear, with a saline texture and a persistent finish that highlights the limestone matrix of the soil.
Ideal with fish dishes or soft cheeses.
