MIKE’S NOTES
Every year I like to play around with some odds and ends and thankfully for Es Okay, I can do that. The Skin Fermented Pinot Gris was the star this year as it went into both the Rosé and white blend this year giving it the structure needed. The Chenin Blanc was foot treaded and left on skins for 6 hours before pressing off. Alone, the wines were pretty clean so the addition of Riesling Piquete and 1% Skin Fermented Orange Muscat really gave this wine the vibe I was looking for. Aaaand with the demand of the wines I needed to find some volume so my friend hooked me up with some pretty lean Chardonnay. As my old cellar master would say, “I hope it’s Goo Goo.”
