This head trained Grenache grown at Kærskov Vineyard in the Los Olivos District was made using our hand rolled whole cluster technique. Each cluster was placed in small fermenters where they were very gently rolled by hand making sure not to break any of the stems. The yeast penetrates the skin of the berry and ferments the juice inside allowing for optimum skin contact during fermentation. The pressure inside the berries builds until they explode. This approach to winemaking creates a very delicate fruitful wine with a silky rich finish.

This 100% Carrbonic Cabernet Franc is from Rossi Vineyard in the Happy Canyon AVA. The grapes are hand picked, then placed whole cluster in a French oak barrel that is completely sealed to create a carbon dioxide rich environment. With the lack of oxygen, the whole clusters begin to ferment turning the sugars into alcohol. We then press the wine and it returns to an oak barrel for another 2 months prior to kegging. This type of fermentation gives the Cabernet Franc a lighter color, with fresh fruity aromatics, and low tannins.
