2023 Giornata Orangotango San Luis Obispo White Blend (Orange Wine) (Was $25)
Winery Notes- Orangotango is a wine that defies expectation. Technically an "orange" wine, it is a blend of several white varieties that were fermented on their skins. Unlike most orange wines, this lot was filtered prior to bottling, giving the consumer something that is decidedly more approachable than most in the genre tend to be.$18.904 -
2021 Folktale Monterey County Carbonic Sangiovese
Winery Notes- Our Carbonic Sangiovese is a labor of love for all of us who help make this special wine. It is farmed 100% by hand by our cellar and operations crew. Among the 7 of us, we all contribute our expertise to produce a lovely and unique crop. Once harvested, the organic grapes were gently sorted and placed into bins and purged of oxygen via dry ice nuggets. After a few weeks, we gently pressed the grapes and finished fermenting the juice before racking the wine to neutral French oak barrels for 6 months. The wine was bottled in May, and will be enjoyed all summer long.$29.9011 -
2022 Haarmeyer Wirz Vineyard Cienaga Valley Riesling Orange
Winery Notes- The Wirz vineyard was planted by Almaden in 1963, back when big wineries were still planting vines on their own roots and furrow irrigation. Miraculously, the vineyard remains intact, thanks to work of the Wirz family. They were hired by Almaden to farm it because they lived on the property. Almaden eventually sold the vineyard to Pat Wirz’s father and Pat is the man who has been in charge for the past 45 years, farming it as his father once did with strict practices that honor the old tradition of caring for the land as well as the vines. The site is just east of the San Andreas Fault. This piece of land has a limestone base with decomposed granite overlaying. Although it sits at about 1,000 feet above sea level and gets some marine air, the days are frequently quite warm. The vines are head-trained, tiny bush vines spaced ten feet apart and the clusters range in size from golf ball to baseball. The yield is typically about one ton per acre.$26.905
