2016 LangeTwins Nouveau Red Wine, Lodi, California
LangeTwins Nouveau is a celebration of the 2016 harvest, the first release of the vintage, and a first ever bottling! To honor the 2016 vintage from the Lodi Appellation, we thought it would only be appropriate for the wine to be crafted from Old Vine Zinfandel, and it truly is a unique expression of Lodi’s famous traditional varietal.
Directly after harvest the winegrapes were stored in a stainless steel tank for several days, and a small portion of the Old Vine Zinfandel juice was bled off into neutral barrels for fermentation, a process known as saignée. The barrel fermentation led to additional texture and richness in the young wine, and just after fermentation was complete, the wine was bottled.
The brilliant berry color in the glass is due to the natural occurring acidity in the youthful wine, and as you move to the bouquet, aromas of watermelon and tart cherry are evident. This carries through to the palate with a bright and lively finish. Our Nouveau has characteristics of both red and white wine, allowing it to be served at room temperature or slightly chilled, and really is a versatile wine ideal for pairing with a variety of foods.
Vineyard Notes: Planted in 1903 the Lewis vineyard is "head-trained, spur-pruned", where the vines have a central trunk with arms growing in all different directions. This goblet shape allows for uniform sun exposure and a distribution of grape bunches ideal for ripening.
For five generations our family has been growing sustainable winegrapes in the Lodi Appellation and in 2006 we opened a winery to showcase our passion for growing winegrapes – because great wine starts in the vineyard. Building on our successes as a farm family, the winery was our first step into crafting wines.
Today, we use our distinct advatange of having control over the entire winemaking process - creating wines from our estate vineyards to the final packaged wine using our new, state-of-the-art bottling line. This enables a continuous line of quality from vine to wine.
