Tasting Note

Winemaking – The secret of Freakout is in the innovative winemaking. Each varietal is treated individually, and then married... (more...) together two months before bottling, to create the ultimate blend. To promote the aromatics of the wine, the Chardonnay begins fermentation in tanks before moving to French oak barrels. Meanwhile, a small portion of the Sauvignon Blanc is fermented on the skins like a red wine, and punched down twice a day until fermentation is completed. The Pinot Grigio is fermented in stainless steel for a crisp, lively finish. The distinctive Ribolla Gialla is fermented in small oak barrels and provides the wine weight, texture and minerality.Tasting Notes – Treating each varietal separately creates a complex wine with multiple layers of exotic fruit, soft citrus, honey and spice. Intense aromas of tropical fruit and orange peel combine with rich flavors of dried apricot, spice and toasted nuts to create a lush texture and brisk mouthwatering finish.Buy Now!!
