How we made it
We pressed the first pick of Tannat together with Vidal Blanc, Petit Manseng and Chardonel, then let the juice ferment with native yeasts.
We set aside some of that active fermentation for the later Tannat pick in What’s That? The rest became What’s This?, completing malolactic conversion and spending ten months in neutral oak before filtering and bottling.
44% Vidal Blanc · 22% Petit Manseng · 19% Chardonel · 15% Tannat

How we made it
We pressed the first pick of Tannat, then pressed the other grapes into its fermenting juice. The wine fermented with native yeasts, completed malolactic conversion and spent nine months in neutral Burgundian barrels. We bottled it with a little residual sugar.
