Product Overview
Winery's Notes:
"What the Foucault pendulum is Sun-Earth? L 2 ? We space cadets at RSV like a balanced wine… something so elegant it seems to defy gravity. So, where did the name come from? In celestial mechanics, the Lagrange points, also known as L-points or Libration points, are orbital points where the gravitational forces of two large bodies, in this case the Sun and the Earth, cancel out in such a way that a small object placed in orbit at L 2 is in equilibrium with respect to the Sun and Earth and can remain “parked” in space. RSV makes a white and a red Libration. ‘Sun-Earth’ is a beautiful, aromatic white wine whereas ‘Earth-Moon’ is a luscious red wine. If we make more than one unique cuvée of either wine, we will name it by the L-point. So this cuvée is the second cuvée of libration for the vintage.
True to name, the 2019 Libration L 2 is a sun-shining example of complexity and balance. A delicious dry white wine with a bright bouquet of jasmine, lemon blossom, fresh linen and summer melon. The first sip hits with a snap of crisp flavors like Meyer lemon, lime, yuzu and peach that zig and zag with an edge of flinty minerality and savory herbs. It is a juicy wine that has a laser focus through the long, refreshing finish. Yummy!"
