From the winery
Winemaker and Owner, Nicholas Keeler, is the North American sales director for one of France’s elite barrel makers, Tonnellerie Allary. He creates the Authentique wines in rotary large format, upright oak cuve, stainless steel tank, Italian amphorae and concrete with a combination of whole cluster and carefully de-stemmed fruit to add layers and complexity. Elevage is made with extra tight grain French oak barrels from unique forest provenance which preserve the fresh aspect of the wines and respect vineyard nuance, one of the great signatures of Authentique.
