Orange Wine from California
We picked practicing organic Gewürztraminer in Monterey. 100% of the grapes were destemmed and organic Zinfandel (8%) was added to tank for a native co-fermentation. The berries underwent 7-days
of skin-contact & semi-carbonic maceration. Additional, Grenache berries (5%) were fermented, separately - 40% destemmed and underwent 9-days of semi carbonic maceration.
After being pressed off, the juice was aged sur lie in a mix of neutral French oak barrels and stainless-steel tanks for 5 months before being racked off lees to tank and the Grenache was blended with the Gewurzt / Zin coferment.
Unfiltered, Unfined, Native Fermentation and Semi-carbonic. Total 34 ppm of sulfur and 4 ppm free. '25 Monje produced in Sonoma, California.
