Free Your Mind is a chillable orange-red wine hybrid – a novel co-fermentation of skin-fermented Riesling and old vine carbonic Carignan.
The idea is to be more than the sum of the parts. At it’s core, Free Your Mind is an aromatic orange wine: a skin-fermented Riesling. When the Riesling begins to ferment, pressed carbonic Carignan is gradually blended in via pumpovers. Our goal was to conduct a layered extraction of Riesling skins; first in a water matrix (Riesling must, with little to no alcohol), followed by an alcohol matrix (mid-ferment Riesling, with pressed late-ferment carbonic Carignan).
*Natural and Organic
Staff Review:
”Skin Contact Riesling. Super fun natural wine! Despite its light red body, this blend delivers big, bold, juicy, and tart cherry & cranberry notes. Dangerously drinkable both alone and paired with any dish.”
