Syrah and Cabernet Franc are in the house!
Today we brought in Syrah and Cabernet Franc – both tasted great in the vineyard.
We also brought back a little bit of Viognier (in advance of our actual pick later this month) to co-ferment with the Syrah, as they do in Southern France. We did that in 2013, and it transformed what had been in previous vintages a kind of one-note wine into the best Syrah we’ve ever made. Here’s hoping the magic happens twice!
No commentsThe Franc (nearly) cometh
Just got new brix, pH and TA numbers from the vineyard, so after a quick call to the vineyard manager, it seems the Franc is almost certainly ready, the Cab Sauv is almost certainly ready, and the Grenache probably in the window.
So we may have 3 delicious grapes coming at us Monday or Tuesday..!
