2016 Lo-Fi Pinot Noir

Hand harvested and sustainably grown; not de-stemmed, crushed by foot once daily in an open top fermentation tank. Fermented on the native yeasts, followed by full malolactic by naturally occurring bacteria. No sulfur used at harvest. Fermented for 12 days, pressed to tank, settled, then racked to barrel the following day.  Aged in neutral french oak barrels. The wine was racked once prior to hand bottling. Total of 25 ppm so2 added without filtration in keeping with our minimalist (lo-fi) philosophy.

Ingredients: Hand harvested, sustainably farmed grapes, indigenous yeast, naturally occurring lactic acid bacteria and minimum effective SO2
