The 2020 Field Recordings Tang is a wine of an unusual ilk. Not made for everyone's palate, this wine hits all cylinders for the younger millennials (born in the 1990s) and older Generation Z (born 1995-2000). Many in this group will not drink their parents' wines (Napa Cabernet, Bordeaux, Burgundy, etc.).This wine shows a slightly cloudy appearance and offers flavors of sour citrus and apple cider. Serve it with a salad composed of white asparagus, French green beans, hearts of palm, and red leaf lettuce. Its low alcohol will allow the veggies to shine in this pairing.

Winemaker Notes

Light and refreshing, made with rehydrated skins from, well, Skins. Think wine tea. Literally, we have turned water into wine on this cellar experiment. Piquette was a way to meet the needs of the people during the late 1800s wine blight in France. By taking the pressed skins and rehydrating them with well water, you create a low-alcohol tea with all of the leftover flavor bound up in the dried skins. After repressing the skins 7 days later, we get a light and refreshing low alcohol elixir. We add a little of our finished table wine for acidity and stability and then bottle. The leftover sugars and native yeast then go to work giving the finished wine a light sparkle.

Tasting notes of clementines, white jasmine tea and everything bagels.
