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 fresh lemon-lime of Picpoul Blanc and is balanced 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.
