Subject To Change, Wild Child Carignan 2021

Perenti Vineyard, Green Valley, Solano County. Head trained carignan planted in 1960 by the Perenti family and is home to very deep, well drained Conejo series soils. Half of the Carignan was foot crushed whole-cluster and half was left whole.  The grapes were split into 5 small S-48 open top fermenters and one large stainless steel fermenter, where the crushed and uncrushed fruit was incorporated in alternating 1000 Lb additions. The wine was pumped over daily and sometimes foot tread until dryness after 2 weeks. The wines were pressed separately and blended together after fermentation for seven months elevage in a 9000L old Foudre. VEGAN, NO ADDED SULFUR. 

Subject to Change is a labor of love. We have a small but growing team based out of Oakland, CA. We make site-specific wines exclusively from organic and biodynamic vineyards. The wines are made with no additions or subtractions in the winery. We make wines with strong character, just like the people with whom we like to enjoy them.

Subject to Change Wine Co. exists as a canvas for exploration of terroir and natural wine in Northern California. STC was founded on a true love for drinking wine, and the many people and experiences that come as a result. In a place where wine production has recently been marked by rules and rigor, there’s a new movement of free thinking producers. STC is proud to be part of a revolution defined by experimentation - where they don’t need to conform to a certain archetype and wine can feel exciting again.

They source fruit exclusively from organic or biodynamic growers with whom they have a symbiotic working relationship. They focus on making wines that they like to drink, which can be on a spectrum from fun and whimsical to serious and intellectual (we like to think those things are not mutually exclusive depending on context). The wines are fresh and often offbeat, just how we like it.
