Grotto
Grotto is a weird wine. Visually, and aromatically.
It's a white wine, dressed in red. Grotto feels like a floral white. 70% skin fermented Muscat Ottonel and 30% De Chaunac. We aged it in amphora made in Italy from limestone rich clay.
What's it like? It drinks like a cool climate Syrah that vacationed at the royal botanical gardens and just...decided to live there for a bit. Amongst the esoteric flowers, but in particular the rose garden. It's quite floral. It's like acacia flowers and violets blooming in a rock garden. After some time, soft mulberry and lychee notes arise.
I recommend chilling it lightly and decanting for a bit. Or just leave the bottle open for a spell. A living wine, Grotto continues to change. Open when you want to nerd out on something a little different.
We've never made anything like it.
