THE STORY: The Nouveau is our way of capturing in bottle the most exciting time of the year – harvest. The Nouveau is a blend of rosé and red wine, everything we brought in and made this year. Fox Hill Vineyard Sangiovese makes the base of the Nouveau and a co-fermented blend of more than 30 grape varieties we brought in and pressed. After each pressing, we captured a little juice from each lot into a stainless tank as a combination of free run and pressing, which then underwent natural fermentation in the tank. Similar to how no two wines are the same, each harvest brings in its own fun, challenges and surprises. This harvest was a short and speedy one, with grapes coming in within a short window of time due to weather patterns that coaxed grapes along throughout the year…and they all were ready at the same time. Capturing everything together in one bottle is a fun way to look back on this busy and fun season.
FUN FACT : This is the first vintage where the base of our harvest blend is mostly Italian varieties from our estate Fox Hill Vineyard in Mendocino.
