La Montañuela, "La Noche y Tu" 2022

Co-fermented hybrid red wine from Huntington Vermont courtesy of Camila Carrillo aka La Montañuela at the American viticultural vanguard.

Frontenac Gris, Le Crescent, Petite Pearl, Marquette, and Frontenac Noir from the organically farmed Huntington River Vineyard in Huntington, Vermont. The vineyard was planted in 2006: it is a cooler, high altitude site sheltered by mountains. The grapes were gradually harvested by hand through September and October. The Frontenac Gris and the La Crescent were harvested first, destemmed, foot-crushed and pressed. The red varieties were harvested in October and processed and destemmed, then immediately pressed due to the wet and humid vintage. There was very little quantity, so the grapes were blended and aged in a single demijohn, then bottled in the spring.

 Unfined, unfiltered, no additional SO2. 12%ABV
