Staff Pick Notes

This wine makes me want to stand up and shout, "Yes! This is what natural wine should be." “Trinch!” is named after a German expression meaning “cheers"... coined by the poet and philosopher Rabelais. It is Cabernet Franc from younger vines vinified in stainless steel with a cold maceration. It is made for early consumption and typically has very accessible fruit, soft tannins, and low alcohol. Bottled in the spring after harvest. Yum!
