2022 Littorai Pinot Noir Wendling Vineyard Block E

The pinot noir grapes for the Littorai Pinot Noir Les Larmes Anderson Valley are hand-picked at night, with a very strict selection. In the vinification cellar, they are destemmed and crushed, with a small portion of the bunches left intact. This whole of grapes and bunches is left to undergo a temperature-controlled (28°C) alcoholic fermentation with wild (grape-specific) 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 approximately 14 months, the wine is assembled and bottled without clarification or filtration. This entire process is completely in accordance with organic rules and regulations, but is not certified. Anderson Valley in Mendocino County is only fifteen miles long, but allow yourself enough time to explore this incredibly complex and geologically diverse region. It is worth the trip for the scenic beauty of the valley and the quaint towns of Boonville and Philo, but there are also about 20 local wineries to visit. As a wine destination, Anderson Valley is relatively young. The climate was long considered too cool for vitis vinifera. Read more at the link: Appellation
