ABOUT THE PRODUCER

About Florez Oyster Pal Picpoul

Florez Oyster Pal Picpoul shows aromatics of apple, green melon, and beeswax. An extraordinarily light and pretty wine, the low ABV (10.2%) allows you to indulge with all seafood, poultry dishes, and sunny days.

Winemaker James Jelks says “I suggest opening tastings or meals with this wine as it prepares the palate and also gives this delicate flower a chance to shine before bigger and richer wines are served. I am excited to see this wine next to fresh oysters, crudo, and other light seafood dishes.”

About Florez Wines

Florèz Wines Founder James Jelks grew up in the Santa Cruz area and attended UC Davis. He worked in wineries all over the world for 10 years before returning home to Santa Cruz in 2017 to make a wine of his own. Jelks uses his own grapes as well as grapes from organic, sustainable vineyards in the area. Florèz’s own vineyards are always dry-farmed. Jelks only produces wine with native yeasts. He does not use additives in his wine. The only exception is a minimal amount of sulfur at bottling. And he does not filter any of their wines.

About the Winemaking

The grapes were destemmed and to rested for one night to allow the flavors and grapes qualities to leach out of the ruptured skins. The juice was then fermented in stainless, before being sent to neutral oak to allow for a little roundness to develop sur lie. Unfined, and unfiltered with no adjustments save for 15ppm SO2 added at bottling.
