Valdiguie/Gamay Blend 2024 Jolie-Laide 'Vinny Love'
The 2024 “Pride Love” red wine is a vibrant wine celebrating California’s diverse vineyards and grape varieties in support for Openhouse SF. It is a carbonic red of Validigue, Gamay and Grenache with fruit sourced from some of our favorite growers in Sonoma, Solano, El Dorado, and Amador. This light bodied red was crafted in a lively style aimed to be shared with friends. Fermentation begins with whole grape clusters undergoing carbonic maceration, a process that lifts the aromatic profile and showcases the pure and vibrant fruit character of each of the grape varieties. Once carbonic maceration is complete, the clusters are gently crushed by foot, and the resulting juice is transferred to barrel where it rests before bottling. A lively, fresh and best served chilled red wine full of LOVE!
