Owned and farmed by Alvin Tollini, this Grenache was planted in 2002 and is 100% dry-farmed in Redwood Valley, Mendocino County. The defining characteristic is whole-cluster fermentation (carbonic maceration). We use all native yeast for spontaneous fermentation, all native bacteria for malolactic fermentation, and add no Sulphur throughout fermentation. The goal is a very hands-off approach to winemaking that highlights the purity of fruit, and deliciousness of a lighterbodied red wine. The result is a fresh, crisp wine, that should be served slightly chilled, which has a layer of acidity and an unmistakable minerality that leaves your palate craving more.
