Forlorn Hope "Queen of the Sierra - Coferment" Sierra Foothills 2023

What’s the big idea with a co-ferment? At RHV, we love the aromatic exuberance we find in our white varieties, and the reds can bring a bounty of bright fruit flavors to the wines they produce. So why not put those things together?? You end up with the best of both worlds - the co-ferment stands in the ground between red, white, and rosé. It’s eminently chillable because it has lighter tannins than a regular red, it’s got more flavor and aroma than a rosé by virtue of its longer skin contact, and it has all the savory tang of the limestone soils and cold nights here at RHV. Made from Albariño, Tempranillo, Barbera, Vermentino, Chenin Blanc, Pineau d’Aunis, Trousseau, Chardonnay, Zinfandel and Verdelho.
