Varietal: Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir
A bright, fresh, juicy, and energized red blend. Elegant aromatics and abundant on the palate. Quoted from Loop de Loop themselves, "this Vin de Soif has the energy of a puppy."
This wine starts out with carbonic maceration until about half-way through fermentation. We then ferment it in open top fermenters with daily pigeage for 7 days before pressing still sweet. It finished fermentation off the skins in stainless steel before aging in neutral oak for 10 months. The result is bright and fresh yet structured and balanced with fruit and verve. It is inspired by the Loire Valley’s Bistro Wines where they blend cab franc with other varietals and are shipped up the river to the bistros of Paris.
