Hobo Wine Co, Folk Machine White Light 2024

30% Tocai Friulano, 23% Albariño, 21% Verdelho, 21% Vermentino, 5% Sauvignon Blanc

Northern California, USA

Driven by the idea of making a lightly aromatic textural wine, something not super dry or super fruity. This wine always strives to be fresh, acid-leaning, mineral, saline/briny and extremely drinkable!

The pieces of this blend were all fermented in stainless steel tanks and the blend was assembled in pieces as the fermentations finished. Spontaneous fermentation, partial ML, no oak, and bottled early with a touch of residual CO2. VEGAN. Vineyards: Talmage Bench, Borden Ranch, Clements Hills, Potter Valley - All CCOF certified organic.
