This is the wine you'd take to Burning Man (if you went to Burning Man). Is it late night or early morning? Doesn't really matter, it's really delicate and delicious.
+ GRAPES: Blend: 68% Chardonnay (50% direct-pressed, 18% skin-macerated) + 18% macerated Muscat Canelli + 14% macerated Pinot Blanc. The fruit was sourced from three sites in the Willamette Valley, Oregon.
+ FUNDAMENTALS: Maceration skins for 4-6 weeks before the wine was blended and aged on lees for 11 months, all in stainless steel. 13% ABV.
+ IN THE WORDS OF THE WINEMAKERS:
"Lightwave is an orange(ish) wine for people who aren’t sure they like orange wine. Call it a baby orange or a diet orange! Made from half direct pressed Chardonnay and half skin-macerated Muscat, Chardonnay, and Pinot blanc; the result is a tropical fruit explosion reminiscent of a juicy IPA with just a hint of phenolics lending a broad, mouth-filling texture." - yup, that about sums it up!
