Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
This silky wine gets its elegance from the Grenache grape while the Graciano adds structure and bolder fruit profile. Dark cherry, black raspberry and touches of cocoa. Our Tasting Room Staff love it!
Winemaker Notes
Silk is a Grenache and Graciano blend created by owner Emil Molin. The grapes were hand harvested in the fall of 2022 from Dos Amigos Vineyard and Flying Leap Vineyards respectfully. Destemmed and crushed into open-top bins for fermentation with specially selected yeast. Punched down daily and pressed at dryness. Aged 6 months in 25% new French oak and 75% Neutral oak barrels. Malolactic fermentation was induced in barrel. The wines were racked and filtered prior to bottling in August 2023.
