Bottle Size: 750 mL
Region: New York
Rich White Wines
Named for their adorable daughter, is given a week of maceration on the skins. A very low dosage of sulfites is employed at crush but otherwise nothing is added. Wild yeast fermentation and no filtering or fining. A cold hardy hybrid grape derived from Gewurztraminer, the white-berried Traminette has lovely floral and fruity aromatics that play brilliantly with the mild tannins from the maceration.
Not quite orange but leaning in that direction. A week of skin contact brings out the floral and lychee notes.” A trio of three: Lychee, wild Anemone, and citrus peel.
Whole cluster foot-tread and macerated for one week with daily hand punch-downs. Pressed directly into 1 older French oak puncheon and 1 stainless tank.
*Natural and Organic
About Wild Arc:
Todd and Crystal left Brooklyn in the Summer of 2016 after a combined 30 years in the city to try their hand at building sustainable food systems in the Hudson Valley.
Both had very limited experience in agriculture, mostly relegated to growing tomatoes, peppers, herbs, and hops on fire escapes (when the neighborhood squirrels didn't kill everything out of spite.) Being lifetime New Yorkers, they wanted to show that interesting and dynamic wines could be grown in the Hudson Valley in the context of a small, Biodynamic, permaculture-focused farm.
