Ochota Barrels 'Botanicals of the Basket Range' 2024
The Ochota Barrels 'Botanicals Of The Basket Range' 2024 is a vibrant reflection of the 2024 vintage, crafted with a blend of Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir, Gamay, and Gewürztraminer. This year, the winemaking process involved a delightful journey of collecting organic herbs, flowers, fruits, and leaves from the garden, with the help of the winemaker’s children. These botanicals were then submerged into a continuous fermentation throughout the vintage, infusing the wine with a unique and fresh character.
The wine captures the essence of summer in the Basket Range, showcasing an aromatic blend of lavender, rose petals, wormwood, bay leaves, Meyer lemon zest, thyme, grapefruit zest, spearmint, lemon balm, rosemary, sage, and lemon verbena. With a pH of 3.42 and total acidity of 5.7, and an alcohol level of 12.7%, it offers a delightful balance of flavor and freshness.
Enjoyed as a versatile offering, it can be savored as a wine or served over ice like a vermouth. Unfined and unfiltered, with minimal use of SO2, this wine is a favorite both to make and to drink, embodying the spirit of the vintage and the artistry of its creators.
