Winemaker Description
The wine is mega delicious. It has a nose full of raspberry, marionberry, red plum, and
cocoa. There are gobs of raspberry, chocolate covered cherry, and boysenberry on the
juicy palate. The acidity is balanced and zippy and, in the finish, there is cocoa powder-
like tannin that keeps the wine fresh on the palate.

Nouveau is born! Nouveau is the name given to the first wine of the vintage. The style originated out of Beaujolais, just south of Burgundy where they make wines from Gamay Noir using the technique carbonic maceration. In carbonic maceration, open top tanks that have been inertized with carbon dioxide are filled with whole cluster grapes and then sealed for a number of days. Pioneering wine chemist and natural winemaker Jules Chauvet employed the technique in the
mid 20st century to make light, fruity and delicious wines.
This is essentially how we made this wine!
