The name of the wine, coupled with the color, pretty much tells you everything you need to know. This is for the cool-kids and not meant to be a wine of too much thought but rather too many friends with whom this should be shared. Dave & Koen had the vision of a blank white canvas and having a lot of fun with heaps of colors. Some were painted with a brush, others by hand and a smattering of finger paints and even spray paint: Muscat, Verdejo, Cab Franc, Sémillon, and Lagrein are the colors.
Three white grapes and two reds were handpicked across a three-week period with “high flavor x bright acid” as the common equation. White flowers from the Muscat, exotic touches from the Verdejo, texture Sémillon and red fruits plus structure from the red varieties. The grapes were all destemmed (aside from a portion of the Cab Franc) and fermented separately in stainless-steel with varying time on skins (2-10 days). The lots were then pressed to tank, aside from the Sémillon that saw old barrels, and the wines finished their fermentation and aged for three months. After this time they were blended to tank to lightly settle and bottled without fining or filtration and just a small addition of sulfur.
