Ojalá 2021
$28.00
Ojalá was birthed in Los Olivos AVA, situated 30 miles east of the Pacific Ocean in a unique horseshoe shaped valley. The position of the vineyard allows for light morning fog and very warm afternoons with quite cool light foggy nights, which helps the grapes achieve excellent sugar levels while maintaining acidity.
We direct pressed 1.5 tons into French neutral Oak where it began primary fermentation. .5 tons of whole cluster grapes were put into the bottom of an open top fermenter and .75 tons was foot stomped on top of the whole cluster, macerated on the skins for five days, then pressed into French neutral Oak.
The wine was aged sur lie for 10 months, racked and blended in a stainless tank for three weeks, and bottled.
No additions or subtractions. Unfined, unfiltered, zero SO2.
