2020 Wabi Sabi
2020 Wabi Sabi
Style: Wabi Sabi is a Japanese aesthetic that reveres the “imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete”. This reflects our philosophy behind the wine. It is a blend that is made without a plan. Decisions are made throughout elevage (aging) as we become familiar with the personality of each lot. This is unusual for traditional, conservative, methodical Linden Vineyards.
This is a big textured wine with a very generous mouth feel and a touch of sweetness. There is ample acidity and tannin length to carry its weight. Aromas and flavors include bee’s wax, apple skins, nutmeg and pear liqueur.
Winemaking: Chilled grapes were sorted, pressed, juice settled and then barrel fermented warm (70's F) in old, neutral French oak. No malolactic fermentation. Aged sur lie in barrel for 10 months. Bottled in July of 2022. 2,180 bottles produced. This wine will improve in the bottle for several years past vintage. Alcohol 13.7%.
