Notes of ash, crushed seashells, and ripe Asian plum immediately jump from the glass.
After harvest, the fruit was crushed and destemmed and placed in a stainless fermenter where it underwent a natural fermentation without any additional yeast or yeast nutrients. During initial fermentation, gentle daily punch-downs were employed in order to minimize oxygen exposure, but still allow for mild tannin extraction. The wine was pressed off at 5 brix and finished fermentation in a concrete egg. Following 5 months in concrete, the wine was racked to a new French oak puncheon to undergo malolactic fermentation. In February 2021-- two months prior to bottling-- the wine was racked for clarity into another oak puncheon for a total of 14 months of aging in oak, and aged for 9 months in bottle before release.
Would pair spectacularly with chicken za'atar.
