Lo-Fi Wines Santa Barbara Country Cabernet Franc Clos Mullet

Lo-Fi Wines Santa Barbara Country Cabernet Franc Clos MulletThis is a single vineyard and the only vineyard that Mike Rothe actually owns. This site tends to make a little more structured serious cab franc than any other he works with. Hand harvested and organically grown; 100% de stemmed. Pumped over once daily. No sulfur used at harvest. Fermented on the native yeasts, followed by full malolactic by naturally occurring bacteria. The wine was fermented for two weeks then pressed to tank, settled, then racked

This distillery also has a long tradition of aging their spirits in a combination of unusual cask types from new and used American oak to brandy puncheons and of course massive sherry butts
