She moved from Germany and eventually settled in Rochefort sur Loire when she and her husband found an old farmhouse for sale. Quickly she found a small parcel at the top of the town and immediately started the work of converting the vineyard to organic. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost of Liv’s parcels are Chenin Blanc, ranging from 10-80 year old vines. There is some cabernet franc, gamay and grolleau. The soil is mostly schist with mineral deposits scattered all over the vineyard. Liv believes in low-interventionist winemaking using naturally occurring yeast and very little sulphur.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Satellite SB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45373525459195,"sku":"00074799","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0403\/3655\/6193\/products\/e7ee0fbd98bd097ba0021658aa00a71b.jpg?v=1710033930","url":"https:\/\/satellitesb.com\/products\/domaine-vindendeau-loire-gold-chenin-blanc-loire-valley-fr-2021","provider":"Satellite SB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
