WINE DESCRIPTION

Clos Saron Stone Soup is a unique and complex wine produced by Gideon Beinstock in the Sierra Foothills appellation of California. The vineyard is located on a steep hillside with rocky soils, which contributes to the wine's distinct minerality. The winemaking process is natural and non-interventionist, with wild yeast fermentation and aging in neutral oak barrels. The resulting wine has a medium-bodied, elegant style with notes of dark fruit, herbs, and earth.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Clos Saron Stone Soup is a complex, yet balanced wine with aromas of dark cherry, baking spices, and earthy notes.On the palate, the wine is lush and full-bodied with flavors of blackberry and blueberry, sweet vanilla, and a hint of pepper. The finish is long and lingering, with a delightful combination of acidity and tannins.

ORIGINS

Winery: Clos Saron

Region: Sierra Foothills

The Sierra Foothills wine region is located in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in California, USA. The discovery of gold near Sutter Mill in 1848 led to the California Gold Rush, resulting in many settlers from Southern Europe who established vineyards to supply them with wine. By the 1860s, the Sierra Foothills wine industry was booming before the depression and Prohibition reduced the industry to just a few vineyards.
