Sans Liege 'Groundwork' Clairette Blanc 2021

Groundwork is more about the wine than the winemaker. Drinking these wines gives you a sense of both place and varietal from the Central Coast. We achieve this through our commitment to minimal intervention from the vineyard to the bottle. In the field no herbicides are used and when pesticides or fungicides are necessary, organic solutions are always chosen. In the cellar, these wines are fermented with native yeasts and post fermentation only minimal sulfur is added. Low in alcohol and bottled unfined & unfiltered - these Central Coast wines are the ultimate examples of purity and freshness.

"Sans Liege is my relentless search for independence. Equally aligned with the freedoms of the New World and the heritage of the Rhone Valley, I am careful not to hold too closely to either. Instead I trust an intuition of the microcosms of each vineyard site and vine to guide my work through each vintage. Tending fruit in vineyards that have captured my heart from Paso Robles down to Solvang, these sites speak for me and I for them; the only partners now on this path I tread."
