Margins Wine Counoise Sattler's Vineyard Santa Clara Valley

Producer: Margins Wine

Region: California, United States

Grapes: Counoise

Farming: In 2021 this vineyard was farmed completely organically! The organic conversion of this vineyard over the last four years of working with it has been one of my proudest accomplishments. Part of the Margins mission over the years was to
work with growers while they transitioned their vineyards to organic farming by providing guidance as well as assurance that the grapes would have a home. I believe that if I worked with solely organic vineyards, I would not be using my role in the
industry to its full potential to enact agricultural change. As of harvest 2021, all vineyards Margins works with are organically farmed.

Vinification: 100% destemmed. Fermented on skins for ten days. Aged in neutral oak for three months. Native fermentation, no fining, no filtration, no other modifications or additions except 20 ppm of sulfur dioxide the week before bottling.
