Love White 2019

The 2019 Love White is a Rhone-inspired blend sourced entirely from Love Ranch, a certified organic estate in the Madera AVA, located 35 miles south of Yosemite National Park at 1,300 feet elevation. The vineyard sits on granitic schist soils and is farmed by Oscar Ramos. Broc has sourced from Love Ranch since 2013, and it remains the anchor of this bottling. The blend is 38% Marsanne, 24% Picpoul, 22% Roussanne, and 16% Grenache Blanc.

The Picpoul vines at Love Ranch were grafted from cuttings sourced at Rorick Vineyard. In 2018 Picpoul was added to the Love White blend for brightness; the 2019 vintage increases that proportion further. Grapes were harvested in August to preserve natural acidity, a deliberate call given the warm Central Valley climate. A large canopy is maintained on the vines throughout the season to shade fruit from the heat and prevent sugar spikes, keeping alcohol naturally lower.

All four varieties were fermented separately using only native yeasts, with no added nutrients, enzymes, or other fermentation agents. The wines were then aged in neutral French oak barrels for 8 months with no added SO2 during fermentation or aging. Malolactic fermentation was allowed to proceed naturally. The wine is unfiltered and may contain light sediment.

The Love wines are Broc's larger-production, approachable range, designed for everyday drinking while maintaining the same minimal-intervention principles applied to all Broc wines. Trace SO2 is added only at bottling.

Important Compliance Requirements

FedEx and other carriers we might occasionally use can only deliver wine to customers who are 21 years or older. Someone must be at the address to receive the package, carriers don't just drop a package and leave. They must ensure the person receiving the wine is 21 or older.

Re-shipping a Package

If a package is returned to us after three failed delivery attempts, we can only re-ship the wine upon payment of a re-shipping fee, to be determined based on the shipping address and number of bottles. Shipping wine is extremely expensive. We are sorry about this, but we have no other choice. Please make sure there's always someone at the address you enter as your shipping address.

If you'd like to receive a refund for a package that was returned to us after FedEx made three delivery attempts, we can do that but we must keep a $20 refund fee; FedEx charges us a lot of money for returns, unfortunately, I can't stress this enough.

Re-routing a Package

If you'd like to reroute a package after it's been shipped, we can do so for a $20 re-routing fee. We cannot re-route a package across state borders. For any change of address, please contact us as soon as possible, ideally within 1-2 days from placing the order or we cannot guarantee we'll be able to reroute or change your order's shipping address.

Canceling an Order

If you'd like to cancel an order after it's been shipped, we can do so upon payment of a small cancellation fee – the amount depends on the size of the order. Carriers charge us a lot of money to recall a package en-route.

Heat/Frost damage

We are not responsible for heat- or frost-related issues. We offer ice-packs upon request. Please let us know if you think that there could be heat-related issues. If we don't hear anything from you regarding weather issues before an order is shipped, or if you don't request a hold due to the weather, we are not responsible for heat/frost damage.

3. Please track your package using the tracking service.

4. The carrier will attempt delivery a maximum of 3 times. After 3 delivery attempts, your package will be sent back to our warehouse.**
