Winemaker: Chris Christensen
Farming: Sustainable
Varieties: Zinfandel, Muscat
Terroir: L. Venturi Vineyards outside Calpella, Mendocino County, CA. Organically and dry-farmed for over 20 years. Well-drained Pinole gravelly loam soils with a mixture of sandstone, shale, and quartz.
Vinification: The crushed grapes spent 36 hours on skins before pressing. The wine was spontaneously fermented and aged in a combination of concrete egg and stainless steel tanks. Bottled without fining or filtration the following summer. SO2: at crush and a small add at the end of fermentation.
Tasting Notes: Strawberry-watermelon flavor that’s as refreshing as it is seasonal. Enjoy it with a slight chillor at a standard red wine temperature.
