2020 Phelan Farm (Raj Parr) - Misturado de Cambria

Coferment of 40% Mencía, 40% Trousseau and 20% Palomino. The Mencía and Trousseau are from the Phoenix vineyard at Phelan Farm, where in 2019 Raj Parr grafted own-rooted Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vines planted in 2007 to many cool climate varieties, including Mencía from Envínate’s Camiño Novo vineyard in Ribeira Sacra. The Palomino is sourced from a biodynamically farmed vineyard near Fresno. The Trousseau and Mencía were deposited in a stainless-steel dairy tank with their stems, the destemmed Palomino was added, and the three varieties fermented together with their skins for 3 weeks. Fermentation finished, the wine was pressed into 500L used French oak puncheon to rest. Bottled unfined, unfiltered, and with no added sulfur.
