Monte Rio Cellars Skull Red Blend

Skull Red is a unique wine made from organically-grown grapes across California. Featuring three rarely blended varietals - Petite Sirah, Mission, and Zinfandel - from different vineyards, the grapes undergo carbonic maceration for 6-10 days in stainless steel. They then ferment separately for 8-12 days with natural yeast in concrete and stainless steel. Blended wines age for 10 months in neutral oak barrels to preserve natural fruit and acidity.

Wine-Making:

• 100% hand-harvested whole-cluster fruit
• Carbonic maceration for 6-10 days in stainless steel
• Natural yeast fermentation for 8-12 days in concrete and stainless steel
