Say When's Weird Parties White is 100% Grenache Blanc sourced from Martian Ranch, a 102-acre Demeter certified biodynamic estate on Alisos Canyon Road in Los Alamos, Santa Barbara County. The vines are clone 141 on 101-14 rootstock, planted in 2008 under biodynamic consultant guidance. Farming follows lunar and solar calendars with no synthetic inputs.
The grapes undergo 19 days of carbonic maceration, a technique that extracts aromatic intensity while preserving freshness and low tannins. After fermentation, the wine ages for 8 months in neutral French oak, adding texture without imparting new wood character.
The result is a white wine with an unusually aromatic profile: apricot, dried mango, and orange on the nose that give way to notes of creme brulee and candied ginger spice. The carbonic maceration process amplifies the grape's natural perfume in a way that conventional white winemaking does not.
Say When is a husband-and-wife project based in Lompoc, California. Rachel DeAscentiis handles winemaking, having trained at Loring Wine Company and studied Agricultural Business at Oregon State University. Michel DeAscentiis leads design and creative direction. They produce all wines in a shared winery facility in Lompoc from organically and biodynamically farmed Central Coast vineyards.
