Winemaking
The 2022 growing seasons started pretty perfectly, with great weather and no heat spikes. All of that changed later in the season, but these grapes in this wine were picked long before that happened. Albariño came in August 19th and Chenin Blanc came in August 25th. both vineyards were hand-picked and whole cluster pressed, with no skin contact. We separated the juice into light and hard press fractions which each saw a 10ppm sulfur addition. After settling for a day, we racked each fraction to a new tank for fermentation and vinified separately. The wines started fermenting naturally after about seven days and we transferred the separate varieties to stainless steel vessels for fermentation. We aged the individual wines on light lees for eight months, then we racked and blended the wines a couple of weeks before canning. The wine was not fined, but we decided to filter it because when you are drinking wine out of a can, you want that last sip to be as good as the first.
