2025 Block Party

Skin-contact Pinot Gris, Riesling, and Gewürztraminer

Red berried and inherently aromatic, the wine holds all the niceties of skin maceration without losing freshness. Tension is brought about by ripeness and lift on the palate without losing the fundamental operative of being delicious. The Swiss Army Knife of skin-contact wines.

750ml, 12.5% ABV

The Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer were de-stemmed and fermented on skins for 15 days, then pressed and finished both primary and secondary fermentation in neutral French oak. The Riesling came in a few weeks later, whole bunch pressed, and fermented in stainless steel before being moved to neutral oak for secondary fermentation. 100% native yeast and the only addition was S02.

The Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer hail from a small nook in the Anderson Valley, just north of Boonville where the days are warm and the nights are cold. The Riesling is coming from a site in the Dry Creek Valley that sits just above lake Sonoma. The vineyards are overflowing with wildlife, and one must keep their head on a swivel for the resident family of black bears.
