60% Sauvignon/20% Aligoté/20% Chardonnay. 2023 is only the second vintage of this blend, made from fully organic, manually harvested estate fruit. "Nuova Descriptio" is in a sense a replacement for the De Moors' "Sans Bruit" Sauvignon-only bottling, because they have found it impossible in this hotter-climate era to both fully ripen Sauvignon and ferment it to complete dryness without problems and without getting it above 15% alcohol. Inspired by Alsace's multi-variety wines, they have adapted by blending the Sauvignon other varieties and varying vinifications and aging techniques.
All De Moor fermentations are spontaneous with indigenous yeasts and minimal sulfur. For the 2023, some of the Sauvignon was destemmed, vinified and aged in amphora for a year; the rest was direct-pressed, vinified and aged in tank for a year; the Aligoté was direct-pressed, vinified and aged in tank for a year; and the Chard was destemmed, vinified and aged in barrel for a year. The blend was made in August 2024. The wine was bottled in February 2025 with a light, non-sterile filtration.
