The same French name 'Silex' means \"flint\", a rock of which the vineyard from which the grapes come is particularly rich. This rocky material, composed almost entirely of silica, is a flint stone, which is why wines from soils rich in flint often have smoky mineral notes. Grall's 'Silex' is part of the 'Tradition' selection, consisting of wines made entirely in steel to enhance the peculiar characteristics of the territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVincent Grall Sancerre 'Silex' is a pure Sauvignon Blanc from sustainably cultivated vines on \u003cstrong\u003esilica-rich soils dating back to the Eocene\u003c\/strong\u003e. The vineyard, aged between 15 and 30 years, is located in the plot \"Le Plateau\", mentioned in 1510 as land of the Augustinian monks of Bourges. The grapes, hand-picked and carefully selected, are subjected to a gentle pressing, followed by the alcoholic fermentation of the must in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature. The wine remains in steel to mature for several months until the final bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVincent Grall's Sancerre Blanc 'Silex' has a straw yellow color with brilliant greenish reflections.
