2024 Johan Vineyards, Maceration (skin contact Grüner, Ribolla Gialla, Kerner, Friulano)

Maceration is a skin-contact white blend we developed to allow for creativity and experimentation in the cellar. With the Gruner Veltliner, Ribolla, Friulano and Kerner all being prime candidates for skin contact. The 2023 Maceration blend consists of 45% Grüner Veltliner, 31% Kerner, 19% Friulano, and 5% Ribolla Gialla. Each variety was fermented on skins for the entirety of primary fermentation. This wine incorporated two Novum amphora vessels, one for skin-fermented Kerner and the other a co-ferment of Friulano and Ribolla Gialla.
