2022 Demo Series Analog

Gamay was picked from the Genova Vineyard October 14th and cabernet franc from the Cascade Vineyard one week later, as sugars reached average 21.3° Brix.

The gamay grape clusters remained intact through seven days of carbonic maceration, then co-fermented in concrete tank with destemmed cabernet franc.  After pressing, the wine was drained to neutral oak barrels (average 12 years of use) to age for eight months.  The finished wine was bottled in June 2023. 

At the time of bottling, alcohol was measured at 12%; residual sugar at 3.8 grams per Litre and titratable acidity, 6.4 grams per litre and pH: 3.25.

Best enjoyed near 15° C.
