In Stock
Pet–Nat Protesta 2022:
Aging/ Vinification: The wine is a blend of 85% Pinot Noir from Rancho Dubacano in San Vicente
Valley and 15% Grenache Blanc from Malagon Vineyards in Guadalupe Valley. Both grape varieties
were pressed together directly with a pneumatic press, using whole clusters without destemming.
There was a short maceration in the press. The fermentation occurred with native yeasts and No-
Saccharomyces strains. Rackings were performed throughout the fermentation process to reduce
sediment load. The wine is unfiltered, unstabilized and has no added sulfites. It was bottled with
sufficient residual sugar to generate CO2 naturally. It spent 6 months in the bottle with fine lees and
occasionally stirred. Lastly, it was disgorged to release buildup sediment and then rebottled.
