<p>Nate on this wine: “<i>Sean Nos</i> means “in the old way” and can be used to refer to various ancient or traditional activities. The cuttings for this field blend come from a 100+ year-old interplanted vineyard in Tenerife. We grafted them over the Syrah at Lunasa in 2020. The wine can be created as a white, pink or red wine each year.”</p><p>“It is equal parts red, white and pink grapes. By mixing grapes of many colors it allows us to arrive at a translucent strawberry pink by a winemaking pathway that would be impossible with a grape of a single color. We’re able to ferment the wine to dryness on the skins while retaining a very pale color and all the aromatic delicacy this entails. In one sense this is an expansion of the wines color and textural palette, but more powerfully it allows us to experience the wine as different colors in different moments.”</p><p>The 2022 vintage is Pink Negramoll, Listan Negro, Malvasia Fina, Mission, Palomino & Babosa Negro.</p>
