Populis Reversée is a delightful wine produced by Populis Wines, a small winery located in Mendocino County, California. This wine is made from a blend of red grapes, including Syrah, Carignan, and Grenache, sourced from various vineyards in the region. The grapes are carefully selected and harvested by hand to ensure the highest quality. The winemaking process involves a unique technique called "reverse saignée," which involves bleeding off some of the juice from the red grapes to create a lighter, more delicate wine. The resulting wine is a beautiful pale pink color with aromas of fresh strawberries and citrus. On the palate, it is crisp and refreshing with flavors of red berries and a hint of minerality. Populis Reversée is a perfect wine for any occasion, whether enjoyed on its own or paired with light dishes.

ORIGINS
Winery: Populis
Region: North Coast California
The North Coast of California boasts some of the most renowned vineyards and wineries in the world. Located in the northern part of the state, the North Coast is home to the Napa Valley, Sonoma County, and Mendocino County, all of which are recognised for their exceptional wines.
The North Coast of California has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The region was first planted with vines by Spanish missionaries, who planted Mission grapes in the area. In the late 1800s, Italian immigrants began to settle in the region, bringing with them their own grape varieties and winemaking techniques. By the early 1900s, the North Coast had become a major wine-producing region, with many of the wineries still in operation today.
