Stolpman Love You Bunches Orange Wine Santa Barbara County 2020

Producer notes: "54% Orange Muscat, 26% Pinot Gris, 20% Mourvedre. Tasting each varietal each day, across the board, we pressed each varietal after 6 days of carbonic fermentation and let the wines finish fermenting in tank. The pun “Love You Bunches” refers to the gentle treatment of each grape bunch so we don’t rupture grapes. The grapes then ferment whole, when yeast penetrate through the grape skins to ferment within. The term “carbonic” describes fermentation occurring in a sealed tank. The yeast have digest all available oxygen, creating carbon dioxide within. Sensory: Popping tangerine and tangerine peel jump out of the glass complimented by inviting tropical guava and passion fruit. These driving fresh fruits come from the Orange Muscat and then the darker hued Pinot Gris delivers savory tactile and lends depth and weight The Mourvedre further cushions the mouthfeel and adds a more serious earthy component. 920 cases produced."
