At Brassfield Estate, our winemaking emphasizes quality and the use of traditional handcrafted techniques, which create wines that have both power and finesse. Our Volcano Ridge Grenache was processed gently to create whole-berry fermentation. After fermentation, we had an extended maceration on the must that gently extracted more color and flavor for the wine. The wine was then sent to 15% new French oak and 85% neutral French oak to undergo naturally occurring malolactic fermentation in barrel. After 18 months in barrel, our 2015 Grenache was lightly fined and bottled without filtration.
