Varietal: 100% Gamay Vintage: 2022 Vineyard: Highlands Ranch Barrel Program: 100% Neutral French Oak Cases Produced: 160 Time in Bottle: 5 months This Gamay was made with a 100% carbonic fermentation. We put this wine in a tank, push all of the oxygen out of it. After 2-3% sugar depletion we open the lid, throw yeast into the tank and finish primary fermentation (sugar into alcohol). Day 12-16 when the available juice is dry (showing no sugar), we press the wine removing skins, stems and put the wine back in tank. We let the yeast rip through that sugar in a day or two and then we barrel it down. It then aged in a 100% Neutral French Oak barrel for 5 months.

Notes

Bright, light and delicate. Clean red fruits, stemmy spice.
