This canned wines goes nicely with so many favorites, but we particularly like it with our favorite orange chicken.

For this wine, we have been trying to capture a deep flavor of black plum but with light weight. To accomplish this, we co-fermented Merlot and Zinfandel; but not in the way you are thinking! We actually pumped Zinfandel juice into a tank of Merlot skins. We call this method “reverse saignée.” It has a lot of advantages over carbonic maceration — most notably a cleaner fermentation that results in a lighter wine that has a ton of the fruit character we love. We did have to fine this wine a little bit making it the only wine we have ever fined. We chose a new type of fining agent that is vegan, made from potato protein and chitosan (aspergillus niger derived) to remove a bit of persistent sticky tannin from the finish. Typically, wineries will use egg whites or gelatin to remove this type of tannin. This wine has been filtered.
