Sonoma

From the organically farmed Sonoma Broadway Farms. During harvest 2021 Keep were offered some Chardonnay from the Merlot vineyard they farm. They jumped at it and made their first ever co-ferment - 65% Merlot, 35% Chardonnay. Perfect blend of tannin structure and vibrant fruit with the minerality of the Chardonnay coming through on the finish. Strawberry and black currant on the palate. Native yeast fermentation, unfined/ unfiltered. Neutral oak for six months.

About the Producers

Winemakers Jack Roberts (former assistant to Mathiasson Wines ) and Johanna Jensen (formerly with Scholium Project and Broc Cellars) have come together to create wines influenced by the old world with less ripe fruit, minimal manipulation and great ageability.  In the vigneron tradition they do much of the work themselves from vineyard to bottling.
