{"product_id":"al-basc-orange-albarino-la-clarine-farm-natural-wine","title":"Al Basc Orange 2019","description":"\u003cp\u003eAl Basc is 100% Albariño sourced from Rorick Heritage Vineyard in Calaveras County, situated at 2,000 feet elevation on limestone soils beneath a layer of schist. The vineyard is organically farmed by Matthew Rorick, near the town of Murphys in the Sierra Foothills. The name 'Al Basc' references a conversation Hank Beckmeyer had with winemaker Eric Texier about the nature of six to seven month skin macerations, which led him to try the technique with Albariño.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes were whole cluster fermented in an open-top vessel with seven months of skin maceration. Fermentation was spontaneous, with no temperature control, no added sulfur, no fining, and no filtration. The result is a deeply hazy, golden-amber wine with genuine textural weight from the extended skin contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, expect aromas of wildflowers, Meyer lemon zest, dried hay, and crushed rocks. The palate delivers salted yellow plum, tangerine, and tart lemon, finishing with a chalky minerality that reflects the limestone soils of Rorick Vineyard. The low ABV of 10.9% keeps it light on its feet despite the skin contact structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDecant briefly before serving to allow any reduction to blow off. Best consumed at cool cellar temperature around 55F.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"La Clarine Farm","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37234219876551,"sku":"LACLALVA19C","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/products\/la-clarine-farm-albarino-orange-natural-wine-primal-wine.jpg?v=1630818852","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/al-basc-orange-albarino-la-clarine-farm-natural-wine","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
