Winemaker Notes
The fruit was harvested, refrigerated for 24 hours, destemmed into open T-bins, allowed to soak for 24 hours, inoculated with yeast, fermented warm while performing punch down 2-3 times daily to control temperature and extract color. Once dry the wine was dumped into the press and squeezed for 2 hours, then pumped into tank, settled for three days and pumped into barrel for 14 months of aging.
Food Pairing Notes
Spicy and/or sweet BBQ, carne asada, Italian sausage, or kielbasa dishes
