Tasting Notes
Carbonic Macerated Pinot Noir is a true delight of the senses. On the nose is an intense floral bouquet with crushed ripe strawberries. On the palate the wine is light bodied with minimal tannins and a silky texture with flavors of red fruits such a cherry and strawberry. This wine is extremely crushable and you will want more all summer long.
Vineyard Notes
Coast Grade Vineyard, located in Bonny Doon, California is farmed by Ryan Beauregard. Planted in 2008, the 17 acre Pinot Noir vineyard sits at an elevation of 1,238 to 1,350 feet on a southwest facing slope. Monterey Bay influences combine with sandy loam soil and underlaying limestone to produce wines with minerality and striking acidity.
Winemaker Notes
Carbonic maceration is a style most common in Beaujolais, however it can be made anywhere with any varietal. Carbonic wines are known for their irresistibly juicy fruit-forward style with bright acidity and they're simply what we call "crushable". The grapes were picked whole cluster and set inside an airtight stainless steel tank. CO2 was added into the environment creating an anaerobic atmosphere without any oxygen. This causes fermentation to begin inside the individual grapes which will eventually crush themselves under the weight of the alcohol they produce. The end result is something incredibly fresh, fruity and delicious.
