This is a fun natural wine made with Sauvignon Blanc grapes. Fun, entry level wine, it exudes apricot marmalade, tea, herbal, orange rind.
The Sauvignon Blanc grapes underwent partial carbonic maceration for 1 week (1/4 of the grapes in the tank were foot-crushed whole clusters, topped with 3/4 uncrushed whole clusters). The grapes were then pressed into a stainless steel tank. 2/3 of the wine got moved to neutral oak barrels for 6-month elévage, while the other 1/3 underwent elévage in a stainless steel tank. After the 6 months, the wine from barrels and tank was homogenized into a stainless tank before bottling. As always, no fining, filtration, or addition of SO2.
Food Pairing: Dishes like grilled fish, ceviche or sushi will thrive on the palette with this wine. Fresh salads with herbs, citrus and light vinaigrettes can complement the wine's acidity. The wine's acidity can cut through the heat of spicy foods, making it a good pairing for dishes like Thai curries or Mexican cuisine. Lastly, cheeses with a sharp or tangy flavor, like goat cheese or chevre can also pair well.
Overnight orders placed on Friday will be delivered the following week as carriers deliver on business days.
