We don’t always buy a wine for the label, but when we do, you know there’s a cat involved.
JKJK!!!
This wild coferment from has us captivated! Light and juicy but also earthy and botanical, it is a fun exploration of place and process. Come snag a bottle to pair with a pizza on this stormy evening!
From the winery:
Grignolino, Freisa, Sagrantino, Nero d’Avola, Arneis. It’s a collection of our Italian misfits who have traveled far and wide to make a fresh start under our watchful care. They have brought us a new wine made from a collection of experimental plantings at Rorick Heritage Vineyard, gifted by friends and enemies. You know who you are! The performance of these vines over a period of time on our unique site determines if we continue to grow a particular variety, or expand the planting on a larger scale. But for now, as they are getting to know their new home in California, we ferment them all together in one big vessel. A slow, cool ferment allows everyone to integrate their distinguishing varietal characteristics to create something entirely unique and otherwise not possible through individual ferments. Hooray for co-ferments!
