Malbec picked October 18th at Famici Vineyard was processed right on site and left amongst the vines to ferment naturally in the elements. A long and cold fermentation took 40 days to complete before the grapes were brought into the winery to be pressed. The resulting wine was barrel-aged on Chardonnay lees adding texture and nuance. The unique aroma and taste of violets make our vineyard ferment a memorable experience.
