About This Wine
The
full story.Inspired by the Producer's first kitten, Wiley. A true carbonic carignan, sealed in tank for 10 days, then pressed back to stainless to finish fermenting and aged 5 months. This vintage was picked at lower ripeness, and a short time in tank, and is lighter than previous releases. Fresh berry aromatics leap out of the glass, both complex & fun flavors. Serve chilled. 330 cases crafted.
Carbonic has become a trendy term and is commonly (mis)used, confused with whole cluster. In a true carbonic maceration, the initial fermentation is not caused by yeast, but instead occurs intracellularly, or from the inside out, it is not carbonated!
