Joel and Eric make beautiful wine that is food friendly, lower in alcohol, balanced, delicate and supple. The wines evoke an emotional response and reflect the unique terroir of the vineyards. Las Jaras Wines are designed to transcend the natural wine trend and focus on taking you back to California wine making reminiscent of the Old World Style, like the beautifully crafted wines of 1970s Napa.
Nouveau is the first release of a vintage. The style originated out of Beaujolais, just south of Burgundy where they make wines from Gamay Noir using the technique carbonic maceration. In carbonic maceration, open top tanks that have been inertized with carbon dioxide are filled with whole cluster grapes and then sealed for a number of days. Pioneering wine chemist and natural winemaker Jules Chauvet employed the technique in the mid 20th century to make light, fruity and delicious wines.
The blend is two lots of old vine Valdiguié, also known as "Napa Gamay" and a tank where we co-fermented destemmed Petite Sirah and Zinfandel.
