2020 Breaking Bread Field Blend North Coast

This Field Blend was made as a tribute to the heritage of our home in Dry Creek Valley. One hundred years ago in Sonoma County, wines were made with little to no intervention or technology. Our natural winemaking approach is one that emulates the style of wines made by these early vintners. The defining characteristic is whole-cluster fermentation (carbonic maceration). We use all native yeast for spontaneous fermentation, all native bacteria for malolactic fermentation, and add no Sulphur throughout fermentation. Also, in line with the tradition of incorporating white varietals, we chose to co-ferment with Muscat Blanc for a distinct and unmistakable flavor and aromatics.
