harvest 2019

pét project is officially in full swing. Check out our 2019 vintage with five brand new pet-nats.
For the 2019 vintage, we are pleased to release five pét-nat wines and our first Piquette. This group includes second-generation versions of our Roussanne and Grüner Veltliner. We also produced a Pinot Gris from Acadia Vineyard which saw 24 hours of skin contact that imparted a brilliant gold color- quite unique in appearance and flavor profile to last year's Pinot Gris.
New to the group is a same-day-pick and co-fermented Chardonnay / Pinot Noir blend also sourced from Acadia Vineyard. This wine is delicate and fresh, a tip of the hat to single vineyard-style Champagne. Next is the Albariño with a bright lemony acidity. We bottled this wine in 375ml bottles particularly for those folks who don’t like sharing their bubbles. This wine is in a dead heat with the Grüner Veltliner for top seafood friendly wine - but which to choose is fairly straightforward. If the flavors in a dish would be complemented by fresh lime then go with the Grüner and if they lean more towards a lemon profile, then choose Albariño.
Last but not least is our Piquette of Pinot Noir. Piquettes are often called second-wines. They are made from soaking previously pressed grape pomace in water and then pressing them a second time producing a simpler, low alcohol, wine-like beverage. Our Piquette spent two days marinating on the skins and finished out at 8.5% alcohol.
I hope you enjoy this year's lineup. I would love to hear your thoughts and comments. Feel free to join our mailing list to get first access to the releases and follow us on Instagram for updates and info on special tastings and events.
