The Spring Seed Aster Pinot is our version of a light luncheon wine a la Beaujolais – light and fresh with raspberry characters and gentle tannins. We hand pick about a third of the grapes and ferment them inside big plastic bags which we seal up and put in wooden apple crates. This makes the grapes ferment anaerobically, which helps soften the tannins so we don’t end up with a big heavy red wine. The wine spends about 6 months in older oak barrels and we bottle before the end of the year the wine was made in.
