Riding Monkey's (Gr)apes of Wrath is 100% Cinsault sourced from Nolan Ranch in the Alisos Canyon AVA, Santa Barbara County. The fruit is farmed organically on a property that grows 18 varietals across more than 100 acres. Alisos Canyon was officially established as California's 249th AVA in August 2020, the same harvest year as this wine.
Winemaker and co-founder Dieter Cronje split the fermentation: 50% whole-cluster carbonic maceration for 10 days, and 50% in open-top fermenters with daily punch-downs. Both lots were then aged together for 5 months in neutral French oak. No sulfites were added at any point.
The result is a light-bodied, chillable red with a smoky raspberry nose, bright sour cherry on the palate, and a finish marked by hibiscus and white pepper. Tannins are deliberately soft, keeping the wine lively and food-friendly without grip.
This is a collaboration release between Riding Monkey and Reverse Orangutan. Serve at a slight chill, around 55-60F.
