{"product_id":"petal-red-blend-sonshine-wines-natural-wine","title":"Petal Rouge 2019","description":"\u003cp\u003ePetal Rouge is a négociant blend born out of necessity: in 2019, Lisanne van Son of Sonshine Vins had no access to Gamay, so she sourced organic fruit from three growers across Anjou, Alsace, and Montlouis-sur-Loire to create this cuvée. The three grapes each received distinct treatment before blending: 60% Grolleau Gris from grower Toby Bainbridge in Anjou underwent whole-bunch maceration for 6 days; 30% Muscat Rouge from Luc Faller in Alsace was pressed directly; 10% Cabernet Sauvignon from Domaine Croix Mellier in Montlouis-sur-Loire spent 3 weeks in carbonic maceration. All grapes were hand-harvested. The lots were vinified separately, blended once fermentation was complete, and aged in tank. The wine was produced in a troglodyte cave in Noizay, Touraine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrolleau Gris is a gray-skinned mutation of Grolleau Noir, native to the Loire and historically grown in Anjou and Touraine. It contributes low alcohol, lively acidity, and delicate red fruit character. Muscat Rouge, a local red Muscat variety in Alsace, adds floral and aromatic lift. The small addition of carbonic-macerated Cabernet Sauvignon rounds out the blend with soft tannin and dark fruit. The result is a light-to-medium-bodied red with a distinctly aromatic, fresh profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSonshine Vins sources only organically or biodynamically grown fruit. Wines are fermented with indigenous yeast, with no additions during vinification. A minimal dose of sulfur may be added before bottling if the wine requires it for stability. The 2019 Petal is unfined and unfiltered.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sonshine Vins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38049993326791,"sku":"SHINPETA19C","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/products\/sonshine-vins-petal-natural-wine-primal-wine.jpg?v=1780186518","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/petal-red-blend-sonshine-wines-natural-wine","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
