Grape varieties: Gamay
Region: Santa Barbara County
Appellation: Martian Ranch Vineyard and Shokrian Vineyard in Los Alamos
Soils: Sandy at the surface, but is rich in clay loam about 3 feet below the surface.
Farming: Biodynamic practices. Hand-harvested fruit.
Vinification: Fermented 100% whole cluster. The grapes received a mixture of love touches and pour overs throughout their primary fermentation without the use of sulfur. Depending on each fermenter, the grapes were pressed after 16-21 days on skins. As always, these fermentations may start a little carbonic, but they always finish with a fully extracted fermentation.
Aging: After pressing, this gamay was aged in neutral French oak barrels until bottling unfined and unfiltered on March 18, 2024.
