Fossil & Fawn Do Nothing 2023
Crafted by Fossil & Fawn, 'Do Nothing' is a testament to minimalist winemaking. This unique blend comprises 52% Pinot Gris, 36% Pinot Noir, and 12% Pinot Blanc, sourced from dry-farmed, organic vineyards planted in the 1970s. The grapes undergo whole-cluster carbonic fermentation in sealed tanks—a process where the winemakers literally "do nothing," allowing nature to take its course. Post-fermentation, the wine rests in neutral French oak barrels for five months, resulting in a vibrant, unfiltered, and unfined wine with no added sulfur.
Tasting Notes:
This light-bodied, chillable red offers a playful medley of flavors reminiscent of Hawaiian Punch and river rocks. Expect bright notes of cranberry, cherry, and raspberry, balanced by earthy undertones of mushroom and leather, culminating in a refreshing finish.
'Do Nothing' is versatile and pairs well with a variety of dishes. Consider serving it with grilled vegetables, poultry, or even a classic mushroom risotto. Its light tannins and medium acidity make it a delightful companion to both hearty meals and casual fare
