This is a wine all about snatching victory from the jaws of defeat! A trucking issue in 2022 resulted in some of our grapes being left out overnight and getting REAL WEIRD real fast. Unwilling to simply toss the fruit, we did all we could and finally, seeing how raw and unhinged the wine was going we decided to test out an old Georgian winemaking notion that Qvevri can 'clean' a flawed wine. A year and a half of Qvevri aging later and holy crap is this wine a beaut! Zippy acidity, nice, integrated tannins and totally mysterious, alluring aromatics. A kitchen sink blend of every damn grape we worked with in 2022, topped with a little cider and aged in Qvevri for 18 months!
