2020 Littorai Pinot Noir Wendling Vineyard Block E

The pinot noir grapes for the Littorai Pinot Noir Les Larmes Anderson Valley are picked by hand at night with a very strict selection. In the vinification cellar they are destemmed and crushed, leaving a small part of the bunches intact. This whole of grapes and bunches is subjected to a temperature controlled (28°C) alcoholic fermentation with wild (grape's own) yeasts in stainless steel tanks for more than two weeks. This is followed by pressing and the young wine is transferred to French oak barriques for malolactic fermentation and maturation. After about 14 months, the wine is assembled and bottled without fining or filtering. This entire process follows organic rules and regulations, but is not certified. Anderson Valley in Mendocino County is only fifteen miles long, but allow yourself plenty of time to explore this incredibly complex and geologically diverse region. It's worth the trip for the valley's scenic beauty and quaint towns, Boonville and Philo, but there are also about 20 local wineries to visit. As a wine destination, the Anderson Valley is relatively young. The climate has long been considered too cool for vitis vinifera. Read more under the link: Appellation
