2023 Terah Wine Co. Falanghina skin contact

Situated in the heart of the Clarksburg AVA, this growing region benefits from the unique terroir that characterizes this area. The cool breezes that flow from the Sacramento River Delta, combined with the rich sandy, clay loam soils, create an environment that is optimal for producing exceptional wine grapes. The maritime influence tempers the region's warm days, allowing for slow and even ripening, which preserves acids resulting in wines with incredible freshness. The proximity to the river, combined with the well-drained sandy clay loam soils, and organic farming practices all contribute to the distinctive character of the grapes, resulting in wines that showcase both elegance and focus.

100% destemmed and fermented on skins through primary fermentation for 12 days. This process allowed the grape skins to impart color, flavor, and texture, resulting in a wine with enhanced complexity and character. Pump-overs were performed during the maceration period, fermentation naturally commenced due to the wild yeast and native bacteria. These techniques ensured even extraction of flavors, and tannins, from the skins, promoting a harmonious integration of elements. The wine was aged on fine lees for 10 months in stainless steel. Unfinned and unfiltered to preserve texture and integrity.

Crisp notes of freshly picked green apples and vibrant citrus peel intertwine with more intricate layers of brioche, dried apricots, and honeyed figs. Chewy tannins with long-lasting minerality. This is a very approachable orange wine, with 0 funk. Think of it more like a rich white when you pair- hard cheese, hearty roast chicken dishes, al pastor tacos.
