Subject to Change (USA) – Sleepless Nights

Sleepless Nights by is a red wine made in California with , , , , , , and grapes.

Wow! If you know the kids drink Ribena, this is it! If this is not the definition of total glou-glou I do not know what is!!!

Slightly syrupy in the best way, with a lovely smooth finish

Grapes: Syrah, Grenache, Zinfandel, Mourvedre, Cabernet Sauvignon Coinoise, Muscat, Roussanne, Picpoul and Viognier

Vineyard: The eight acres of grapevines found at Sunhawk Farms were planted twenty years ago by John Schaeffer, a pioneer of natural products and solar energy, who bought the 300-acre property and built an ideal retreat up the mountain next to Duncan Springs Peak.

Method: We pick everything that’s ripe in two passes. Each pick represents between four and six varieties. The fruit was then foot-crushed, macerated whole-cluster for three to five days and then pressed to a tank.

The juice was barreled down for fermentation and seven month elevage in a combination of neutral 225L barrels and 500L puncheons. The two lots were racked together for bottling.

As always – unfined, unfiltered, no SO2.
