Winemaker's Note:
Our goal was to create a red wine that complements our natural/raw wine portfolio. Initially, we considered a carbonic maceration style red, but it would compete with our pet-nat release. Instead, we opted for Clarete, a wine made by co-fermenting white and red grapes for lighter, more approachable reds. To hit our Glou Glou target, we used available grapes, creating a unique blend of Vidal and Gamay Noir.
