WINEMAKER’S NOTES:
California’s identity as a table wine, for us, begins with Zinfandel. It’s a fresh, vibrant
grape when picked early and plays well with food pairings. The Zinfandel grapes were
destemmed and naturally fermented in open top stainless fermenters. After the wine
was gently pressed, it was aged in neutral French oak barrels for 8 months. We made
this acid driven, food friendly wine that everyone should enjoy at the table.
VITICULTURAL AREA:
We sourced grapes for La Boutanche from all over Northern California. The vineyards
included Lopez Vineyard on Mohawk Trail in Redwood Valley, Arrowhead Vineyard in
Sonoma Valley and Enz Vineyard in Lime Kiln Valley. All vineyards are organically
farmed.
