Kaban Piano Piano 2023

A winery run by a pair of brothers and a childhood friend - their story feels like the Sandlot or the Outsiders. Rebellious spirit but eleganyt wines, this one a blend of Granche and Syrah. 

The grenache and syrah are harvested by hand from individual parcels. They are fermented separately - the grenache undergoes a four-day maceration under temperature control while the syrah sees carbonic maceration. The grapes ferment in a stainless steel tank before being pressed and blended into a separate tank for élévage. The 2023 saw a brief passage in barrel to let the wine breath. 

Fining: none

Filtration: none

Sulfitage: A small sulfitage occurred at the beginning of élévage. Total SO2 at analysis measures <20mg/l
