Winemaking
Force de Fleurs means literally the strength of flowers or essentially “flower power”.
The Force earned its namesake due to its floral aromas and fresh fruit
characteristics. The Force combines the green apple and Mandarin orange of
Grenache Blanc with the heady, honeyed pear and pineapple from Viognier. We
barrel ferment the wines in new French oak puncheons until dry then blend and age
in neutral and stainless steel barrels. Blending these components together creates
a full bodied white wine with fresh fruit characteristic of a true Rhone white blend
with the balance and crisp acidity needed for a refreshing finish.
