2022 Jongleur Petit Verdot
100% Petit Verdot from Dionysus Vineyard. A Jongleur is a medieval wanderer, entertainer, and juggler. We borrowed the term Jongleur as a metaphor for our lifestyle as small business owners, winemakers, and parents of three daughters.
This Petit Verdot has aromas of currant, blackberry liquor, white pepper, saddle leather, violets, and vanilla. Flavors of plush spiced currant & blueberry with dried herbs, cedar, and flint. Tight freshness and long tannins. Enjoy through 2035.
Fermentation: 100% hand-harvested and hand-sorted fruit. Destemmed and must-pumped to open top fermenters. Inoculated with a variety of organic yeasts (Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Pichia kluyveri). Punched down twice daily with three pump-overs. Pressed at dryness.
Élevage: 22 months in 50% new 300 liter French oak barrels (AnA Selection and TSO; medium toast). Racked twice.
INGREDIENTS: Petit Verdot grapes, yeast, organic yeast nutrients, tartaric acid, and minimally necessary sulfur dioxide.
