Scribe 2021 Pet-Nat Rosé of Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast, CA

Winemaker: Andrew and Adam Mariani.

Farming: Organic

Varieties: Pinot Noir

Terroir / Soils: Grapes were harvested from Scribe's Brooklime Vineyard, which sits on the Sonoma Mountain ridge line at about 1,500 ft elevation, overlooking the city of Petaluma to the west and Sonoma to the east. It typically sits above the fog line so mornings and afternoons can come with plenty of sunlight, though evenings are cool. Planted to clones 667 and 777, the vineyard sits on a steep grade, on Guenoc clay-loam soils.

Vinification: Hand-harvested Pinot Noir was foot tread to release juice and allow for skin contact and color pickup. The juice was whole cluster pressed and settled for 24 hours prior to being racked off its gross lees. The wine fermented at 50F0 in a stainless- steel tank and was bottled on October 13th with 18g/L of residual sugar. Fermentation finished in bottle over the following weeks. No dosage or disgorging.

Tasting Notes: Aromas of hibiscus, guava and white tea.
