Scythian Wine Co. 'The Scythians White' 2022 Cucamonga Valley, California

Palamino Fino

Cucamonga Valley, California

Raj Parr turns everything to gold. The grapes were harvested by hand and some of the juice macerated on the skins for roughly a week before fermentation with native yeasts in a mix of Sherry botas (from Ramiro Ibáñez of COTA 45) and old French oak barrels, then rested for 6 months to complete malolactic conversion. A small amount of SO2 was added after malolactic fermentation. Bottled without fining or filtering.
