Sandlands Red 2023

Sandlands Red is crafted from old-vine plantings across California's diverse terroirs, focusing on lesser-known varietals like Carignan, Mataro, and Zinfandel. The vineyards benefit from a Mediterranean climate with warm days and cool nights, promoting balanced ripening. Fermentation occurs in neutral vessels to preserve the purity of fruit, followed by aging in used oak barrels to enhance texture without overpowering the wine's natural character. This red blend offers a medium-bodied profile with bright acidity and a complex array of red and black fruit flavors, making it suitable for early enjoyment or short-term cellaring.
