2022 Heritage Red Blend

Wine Information

 

The blend is predominantly Baco noir, followed by Marcheal Foch and a lesser known grape known as Palmer. 

 

The fruit was all hand harvested from a small 2.5 acre vineyard here in the Hudson Valley.  The grapes were destemmed and a cold soak was conducted at 40F for 3 days in order to extract flavors, color and phenolics.  The fermentations were conducted at warm temperatures of 85F in order to retain fruit character while simultaneously extracting phenolics and color.  Upon the cessation of alcoholic fermentation, the wines were drained, pressed, settled and sent to neutral French Oak barrels.  In barrel, the wine was inoculated for malolactic fermentation.  The wine was aged in neutral French Oak barrels for 16 months prior to bottling.
