Over our decades-long winemaking journey, we have become less and less extractive in our classic red wine fermentations. As we grew more confident in the natural concentration of our arid, undiluted terroir; we transitioned from “punching down” the floating skin caps of our open-top fermenters from three times a day, to three times total, throughout an entire native fermentation. Our Syrah cuvees remained dark and rich, yet the profile showed even more nuance with delicate prettiness joining the wines’ bold core.
Our journey to reduce extraction eventually led us to try whole-grape fermentation (no extraction at all) with the first Carbonic Sangiovese cuvee bottled from the 2013 vintage. After falling in love with the lighter bodied Carbonic Sangiovese, we chose to experiment with the carbonic fermentation of Syrah. Because we wouldn’t extract any tannin, we could pick the Syrah earlier, with the grape skin still crunchy. We borrowed the Côte Rôtie (Roasted Slope) trick of co-fermenting a dollop of earlier ripening Viognier for floral aromatics and more weight bonded with the bright mid-palate fruit.
Crunchy Rôastie has become a seriously delicious Featherweight version relative to Stolpman’s classic Middleweight and Heavyweight macerated Syrah cuvees. By taking such a delicate touch to the intensity of Santa Barbara County, we can deliver a Syrah in the same weight class as our favorite Northern Rhone wineries.
