Tasting Notes: “100% organic Cinsault handpicked february 17, 2021. Natural fermentation, bottled unfiltered, unfined, and withought added SO2.

Organic Grapes

Wine is an agricultural product. Just as with food, highly processed wines contain additives to mask flavor deficiencies in the base ingredient: grapes. Poorly farmed grapes that relies on additives and harsh chemicals will produces grapes that will inherently need additives, like sugar and acid, to make good tasting wine. Why apply harmful pesticides and herbicides when we know this kills soil microbiology, the very thing that assists in plant nutrition and grape flavor? In the vineyard we farm for healthy soils and vine longevity rather than high yields.
