oui non — 2025
aperol spritz 2.0
This bottle is just as zippy and bright as its color suggests — a light, juicy, and refreshing rosé to quench any thirst. Think of it like grown-up cherry cola. With notes of muddled raspberry, fresh cranberry, and maraschino liqueur, it’s sunny and coy; your ideal first drink of the day. In texture, it’s round and plush (but not rich), with a sturdy acid backbone.
This co-ferment of chardonnay, merlot, pinot noir, grüner, seyval blanc and cayuga is the sort of wine that will disappear quickly (trust us, we know)((oui non)).
$22 / 750ml bottle
vinification & élevage
Chardonnay and merlot macerated together in whole clusters for 10+ days, overlaid with some grüner veltliner. Slightly later picks of direct press pinot noir and macerated cayuga, topped off with skin muscat and a touch of cabernet franc.
Blended into two neutral 40hL oak foudres for the remainder of fermentation and élevage, and bottled in april of 2026.
