Blau isn’t just one of our favorite red varieties. It’s also, we think, the future of the Finger Lakes. Our 2020 is earthy, laden with red and black cherry fruit, fresh and energetic thanks to short maceration and gentle extraction.
Hand harvested, 85% destemmed, spontaneously fermented. Gentle extraction, with very light hand punching to soak the cap, and pumpovers at the beginning of fermentation and at peak. 10 day maceration. After fermentation, transferred to a neutral demi-muid and a neutral barrique. Unfined, unfiltered. 12ppm free sulfur, 40ppm total.
