Little Experiment #2
La Crescent Pressed Over Marquette Skins
Tasting Notes: Made in the same process as Little Experiment #1, but with two different varieties. La Crescent characteristics come through strongly on the nose, and this wine has higher acid. Marquette lends red fruit character as well. Vibrant acidity, floral aromatics, and citrus.
Story: The second of many “little experiments,” we directly pressed La Crescent grapes over red grape skins that had been previously pressed to make a rosé. These skins brighten the acidity and texture, lending a pale pink hue like the warming sunsets that drift over our little hill on the East Shore of Grand Isle. As scientists we value experimentation, and it has been integral to our growth as farmers and winemakers.
