Sirocco

Sirocco Wine Details
Price:

Description: This is the third vintage of our Southern Rhône blend, named for the hot wind that blows from Africa across the Mediterranean. The grapes were sourced from four excellent Washington State vineyards. At harvest, the fruit was destemmed and gently crushed, then fermented in 1¾-ton tanks using a variety of yeast strains isolated from the Rhône valley. When complete, the wine was dejuiced through large stainless steel strainers, then transferred to French oak barrels. This process yields exceptionally focused, high-quality wine low in phenolic solids.
