🍇 Carignane
Region: Lodi
Farming/Vinification: Not many producers would consider canning this wine considering how special the vineyard and fruit is, but Evan Frazier does. A can may be unorthodox, but it has all sorts of benefits, most important: the smallest carbon footprint. The fruit was picked on 6th September, whole cluster pressed stems and all using a gentle champagne press cycle and fermented without additions in stainless.
Notes: Very light orangey pink. Hints of orange and red fruits, very aromatic. Full of fruit flavour and depth for moderate alcohol. Excellent freshness and balance. Dry but very fruity and just the right presence of light tannins.
