BROC CELLARS | 2016 MISSION $35 bottle
VARIETAL: 100% Mission
TOTAL PRODUCTION: 176 cases
Mission is the first cultivated grape in California and also goes by the names Listan Negra and Pais. Spanish missionaries planted the grapes in California to make sacramental, table and fortified wines. This wine was made using carbonic maceration and then aged for 6 months.
VITICULTURAL AREA:
60+ year old vines grown in Lodi beside a river. The soil consists of sand and gravel. It is dry farmed.
All Broc wines are made naturally, meaning no use of inoculated yeasts or bacteria. Only native yeast to spark fermentation. A minimal dose of S02 is added 4 weeks before bottling to some wines.
