L' Estrangere

Northern Rhône, France
Winemaker: Nancy Kerschen

‘L’Etrangère’ means the foreign woman. Originally from Houston, Texas, Nancy Kerschen moved to Tournon to make wine with her French husband and REAL Wines portfolio staple, Julien Cécillon, back in 2010. She quickly settled into life in the Northern Rhône, working part time as a local tour guide when not out working in the vines. Surprisingly, it was Nancy, the foreigner, not Julien, the local boy, who made many of the contacts for the young couple to acquire their first vineyards. 

After taking a break from the vines for a few years to take care of their twin baby daughters, Nancy return to the vines and found an opportunity to farm just under a hectare of Syrah in the town of Mauves with neighbours such as Pierre Gonon and Jean Louis Chave. The vines are located on the flat plains, at the edge (but not quite inside) of the Saint-Joseph appellation. Nancy, however, decided to treat them with the same care as all of their other vineyards and took on the work alone. From pruning all the way through vinification and bottling. 

2020 'Vin de France' Syrah   
From a 0.3ha vineyard in lieu-dit Les Rivoires in Tournon sur Rhône. The vineyard was once under the Saint-Joseph appellation, and is located just below lieu-dit Saint-Joseph.
The vineyard lays on granite and clay soils.
winemaking: 70% whole cluster, native yeast fermentation in open stainless steel tank for 22 days with punchdowns and refilling. Aged 15 months in barrel.
