Is it possible that a single bottle could bring together both lovers of new wave “natural wine” and old-school traditionalists alike? Francois and Florent, the duo behind “Les Équilibristes” (meaning “tightrope walkers” in French), have achieved that precise balance with their downright delicious white blend from the South West of France. A blend of 70% Semillon, 20% Sauvignon Blanc and 10% Chenin Blanc, the ‘Hirsute’ Blanc is like drinking a wine born of white Bordeaux heritage but raised in Williamsburg. With all organic fruit, minimal sulfur added and fermented spontaneously, this is honest winemaking that brings out plenty of pure, lush golden apple and pear fruits with hints of orange zest and a touch of citrus for balance. This thoughtfully crafted, crowd-pleasing white wine will serve you well simply to sip on or paired with your favorite Asian cuisine.
