Stolpman Combe Stolpan Vineyards Trousseau Santa Ynez Valley 2023 750ml

Description

Stolpman Combe Trousseau represents a bold exploration of one of France's most intriguing and rare varietals, now finding extraordinary expression in the unique terroir of Santa Ynez Valley. This wine showcases the adventurous spirit of California winemaking while honoring the ancient traditions of the Jura region, offering wine enthusiasts a chance to experience something genuinely rare and exceptional.

The wine opens with an immediately captivating bouquet that sets it apart from conventional red wines. Delicate aromas of red cherry and raspberry are complemented by notes of rose petals, forest floor, and a distinctive spice profile that includes white pepper and dried herbs. The Santa Ynez Valley's diverse microclimates allow this temperamental variety to express its unique character while developing a distinctly Californian personality.

On the palate, this Trousseau reveals remarkable elegance and complexity. The wine presents flavors of bright red fruits supported by silky tannins and a vibrant acidity that makes each sip engaging and refreshing. What distinguishes this expression is its beautiful balance between delicacy and intensity – the wine possesses both ethereal lightness and surprising depth, with a texture that's both refined and substantial.

The Stolpman Vineyards terroir contributes unique characteristics that allow this rare variety to thrive. The region's limestone-rich soils and maritime influence create ideal conditions for expressing Trousseau's natural elegance and aromatic complexity. The result is a wine that captures both the variety's French heritage and the distinctive character of its California home, creating something truly special and unrepeatable.

This wine pairs beautifully with lighter game dishes, particularly duck or rabbit, as well as mushroom-based preparations and soft cheeses. Its elegant character also makes it perfect for contemplative drinking, where its unique personality can be fully appreciated. For adventurous collectors seeking rare varietals that offer both exceptional quality and genuine discovery, this Stolpman Trousseau represents a unique opportunity to experience one of the wine world's hidden treasures in its California expression.
