Batch No. 0425 Tasting Notes
Two acres are planted at Bedell. Syrah is normally grown in warmer regions than the North Fork, but our cool, maritime climate influences Syrah with a lower alcohol level, a refreshing saline minerality. Whole clusters were loaded into the press by hand and gently pressed to minimize color extraction. Fermented and aged in a small stainless-steel tank. Enjoy this delicious wine with local North Fork produce.
Whole cluster pressed, fermented and aged in stainless steel. Vibrant pink color with bright acidity and flavors of raspberry and beach plums, and a stony minerality. “The nose is filled with fat juicy raspberries and hints of fresh-cut watermelon. It’s wonderful. The palate is broad yet focused with active natural acidity and a nice round mouthfeel that leaves a creamy finish. I never thought Malbec could be so expressive.” - Keith Beavers
Salt-Air is made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc that was hand-harvested and gently crushed before pressing. After pressing, the juice was fermented and aged in barrels for two and a half months. For the 2024 vintage, Winemaker Marin Brennan selected combination of 50% new and 50% neutral oak to shape the wine’s character. Blending these wines after fermentation created a beautifully balanced Sauvignon Blanc with depth and complexity. An exceptional expression of North Fork terroir.
Unlike a traditional Cab Franc that is fermented with skins for color extraction; this small batch was gently whole-cluster pressed and fermented and aged in stainless steel with no skin contact. A red wine made like a white wine. Flavors of white peach, eucalyptus, nutmeg, and savory herbs define this dry, aromatic stunner.
