Acid Queen is a 92% Colombard and 8% old-vine Carignan rosé sourced from Lacy Vineyard in Fairfield, Solano County, California. Both varieties were fermented separately using carbonic maceration — no treading, no added CO2 — for 14 days each, then blended and bottled without fining, filtering, or any additions. Zero sulfites. Only 44 cases made.
The wine pours an electric pink. Colombard's structural role here is its famously high natural acidity and bright citrus-tropical character, while the old-vine Carignan contributes color and a bit of grip. Carbonic maceration on both varieties keeps the wine fresh, juicy, and low in harsh tannin.
Craig West makes wine at Noel Diaz's facility in Richmond, California, sourcing organic fruit from small growers across Northern California. He does not own any vineyards. Every wine in the Gearhead lineup is farmed organically, foot-tread or carbonically fermented, and made without added sulfur.
Serve well chilled — around 50 to 55°F — and drink young. This is a wine built for immediate pleasure, not the cellar.
