Vinification
Destemmed to an open-top fermentor. The wine was not chilled or inoculated. The fermentation began naturally after about 6 days on the skins. A little less than a month later, we pressed the dry juice off the skins to neutral French barrels and let the malolactic fermentation proceed naturally till complete in neutral barrels. Post fermentation, we did not add sulfur dioxide. The first and only addition was made just before bottling. The final wine is unfiltered and unfined.

Tasting Note
This wine offers a complexity that is hard to match. The skins bring in a savoriness and pseudo minerality as well as a texture and mouthfeel that is unique, but also fun and food friendly. The lack of so2 during aging lets the wine work itself out naturally, usually oxidizing a bit, but ultimately reaching a balance of acid and phenolic composition that suits itself.
