Rich Red Wines
The grapes were handpicked and brought to the winery in small picking bins. There the bunches were carefully sorted and destemmed and the tanks were split between fermentations with local cultured house yeasts. The wine stayed on the skins for about a week, after which it was pressed to a combination of 10% new American oak, 45% used American oak, and 45% used French oak. After a total of 12 months, the wine was racked to tank and bottled with just a sulfur addition – no fining or filtering this vintage.
Vivid black-purple, with notes of blackberry, cinnamon, beetroot, and violets. Bright acidity balances bold tannins and ripe berry flavors, finishing with taut, lively fruit.
*Fun note: Female wine maker and predominantly female wine making team!
