Description
The return of Malbec! We are excited to welcome Malbec back to the Lo-Fi lineup for the first time since the 2022 vintage.
Made the old-fashioned way, with 100% whole clusters, stems and all, and crushed entirely by foot. No destemming, no mechanical crushers, just grapes and a little legwork. A hands-on, minimalist approach that lets the fruit and vineyard do the talking.
The organically grown grapes are hand-harvested and fermented with native yeasts in sealed tanks. Rather than using carbonic maceration, we foot-tread the grapes daily, breaking up the berries and gently extracting color, flavor, and tannin before sealing the tanks again.
The wine undergoes full malolactic fermentation with naturally occurring bacteria and is racked twice before bottling. No sulfur is added at harvest, and just 35ppm SO₂ is added throughout the winemaking process. Bottled without filtration, in keeping with our minimalist (Lo-Fi) philosophy.
Ingredients: Hand-harvested, organically farmed grapes, indigenous yeast, naturally occurring lactic acid bacteria, and minimal SO₂.
