Love Red is a quaffable, dark fruit forward, juicy, bomb-tastic, chill-able red! Its a mouthful to say and your mouth will thank you for drinking it! Subtle earthy notes only add to its intrigue!
The Love Red grapes are harvested early to highlight the fruit and preserve acidity. Spontaneous fermentation. The Carignan was fermented mostly carbonic. We destemmed then fermented the Syrah, Valdiguié, Mourvèdre, Petite Sirah and Zinfandel in stainless open top fermenters. The Grenache Noir was fermented carbonic. The wine was aged in a combination of mostly neutral French oak barrels and concrete tanks. Low to no added SO2.
