{"product_id":"resist-ruche-hollow-wines-natural-wine","title":"Resist Ruche' 2020","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 2020 Resist Ruche is a 100% Ruche sourced from three rows of vines at the Calleri Vineyard in Tres Pinos, San Benito County, farmed by John Siletto on gravelly loam soils along Tres Pinos Creek. The Ruche cuttings were originally obtained from Randall Grahm's Popelouchum project nearby in San Benito County. In 2020 the vines produced approximately one ton of fruit, which Quinn Hobbs hand sorted and destemmed before doing a light crush and cold-soaking in a fermentation bin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWinemaking is minimal by design. The grapes fermented on skins using only native yeast for 17 days until dry, then aged in two barrels. On March 10, 2021, the wine was racked into a blending tank, 30 PPM sulfur was added, and the wine was bottled by hand. It is unfined, unfiltered, and vegan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRuche is an aromatic red grape from Castagnole Monferrato in Piedmont, Italy, where it holds DOCG status. DNA analysis confirms it is a crossing of Croatina and Malvasia Aromatica di Parma, which explains its intense floral character alongside a tannic backbone. In San Benito, the variety benefits from cool Pacific breezes funneling through gaps in the Gabilan Range, which preserve acidity and aromatic freshness through a long growing season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHollow Wines was founded in 2020 by Quinn Hobbs, who grew up near San Francisco and began volunteering at wineries in the Hollister area before pivoting full-time to winemaking. He produces across more than 15 varietals sourced from organically farmed vineyards, using wild fermentation and adding only minimal sulfur. As of this harvest, production moved to Atelier des Savants Fous in Gilroy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hollow Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39949263012039,"sku":"HOLLRUCH20C","price":33.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/products\/hollow-wines-ruche-resist-natural-wine-primal-wine.jpg?v=1630820158","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/resist-ruche-hollow-wines-natural-wine","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
