Jolie Laide Gamay Noir 2023

Where: Sebastopol, California
Grapes: Gamay
Body: Medium 
Category: Red Wine

Light, fresh, and utterly charming. Wild strawberry and summer herbs with cranberry tartness.

winemaking:  Upon arriving at the winery, the clusters are left whole as fermentation is started by carbonic maceration then crushed by foot where it finishes whole cluster for skin contact and extraction. The aim here is to ballast the fruity high tone aromatics of carbonic maceration with the intensity and structure of whole cluster fermentation; a wine that is light and fresh but with an underlying seriousness and complexity. Pressed to neutral barrique for a 6 month élevage and bottled young to preserve freshness and delicate aromatics.
