2020 Domaine de la Touraize, Arbois 'Zeste de Savagnin', Jura, France Descendientes de J. Palacios fermented and agedA J began his Zeste project by happy accident; a batch of 2018 Chardonnay had elevated volatile acidity in barrel, so he added some skins upon which a younger wine had just finished fermenting, and the wine corrected itself. He loved the results, and began producing a Savagnin which employs skin contact but which A J adamantly resists classifying as an orange wine. As with the Ploussard La Cabane, the Savagnin for this bottling is destemmed by hand
