Division Wine Co. Tulips Johan Vineyards Van Duzer Corridor 2022 750ml

Certified Biodynamic. We have been working with the truly distinctive Johan Vineyard, in the Van Duzer AVA, since 2013 and have fallen hard for the vineyard’s commitment to the most forward-thinking Biodynamic vineyard practices in the region. The 2022 vintage was as late as we have ever picked, but the hallmark Johan characteristics were all there and we ended up with very high quality Chardonnay and Pinot Noir for the Tulips cuvee. The Pinot Noir component (75%) was left whole cluster and the Chardonnay component (25%) destemmed, which resulted in a somewhat semi-carbonic fermentation. We feel that the fermentation method and varietal co-ferment resulted in a gorgeously complex wine. Aged for 10 months in four neutral Burgundy barrels (228 liters), this wine only sees only a small amount of sulfur added one time before racking.
