Co-ferments are all the rage right now, so why not take it a step further and co-ferment with other fruit. And, thus, this co-fermented orange wine, "Leo Carrillo", was born. Sourced from dry-farmed, minimal intervention vineyards, this has a nose like kirschwasser but the brightness and grip brought on by seven days of skin contact.
The details:
"Trousseau Gris grapes were organically farmed by Siletto Family Vineyard in Tres Pinos, CA. After being destemmed several hundred pounds of raspberries from a nearby farm in Watsonville were added to the fermenters after being hand sorted. Both the grapes and raspberries were co-fermented together for 7 days before being pressed into neutral oak barrels where they completed primary and secondary fermentation. Bottled with 20 ppm SO2 addition on February 18th, 2022."
