Tomoe Gozen White 2023

With Tomoe Gozen Blanc 2023, La Tribu Alonso creates an inspired and profoundly original vintage, conceived as an homage to the first female samurai. Like this historical figure, the wine embodies finesse, power, and singularity. Made from a collection of 28 Chardonnays, this white wine reveals a rare complexity, shaped by a bold vision and an artisanal approach to natural wine.

The grapes are grown without any synthetic products, respecting the living balance of the vineyard. In the cellar, vinification relies solely on indigenous yeasts, without inputs or artificial additions, to allow the identity of the vintage and the terroir to fully express itself. The 16-month aging in Sauternes barrels adds an extra dimension to the wine, enriching its aromatic palette and texture.

In the glass, the golden, slightly hazy color indicates a living and unfiltered wine. The nose opens with great complexity, blending aromas of white flowers, honey, and undergrowth, enhanced by an elegant smoky touch. The influence of the barrels is subtly discernible, bringing depth and relief without masking the freshness of the fruit.

On the palate, the texture is full, silky, and structured. The wine unfolds an aromatic richness where floral and honeyed notes intertwine with woody and slightly toasted nuances. A beautiful tension balances the whole, offering a persistent finish that is both warm and refined.

Tomoe Gozen Blanc 2023 pairs perfectly with aged cheeses, whose complexity it highlights, but also with spicy dishes, thanks to its roundness and aromatic depth.

With this vintage, La Tribu Alonso confirms its free and inspired approach, giving birth to a unique natural wine, rich in history and emotion.
