Winemaker Notes

With this wine, the team at Breaking Bread have developed a blend of grapes that achieves layers of complexity and mouthwatering deliciousness in this skin-contact “orange” wine. Equal parts of Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc are added to the dominant Muscat Blanc. The Chardonnay contributes weight and complexity to the mouthfeel, while the Sauvignon Blanc brings in more acidity and higher notes.

All grapes were destemmed into the fermenter bin with zero sulfur added and we let the native yeast build up a population, which takes about five days. From there, the wine is allowed to go another five days fermenting on skins, for a total of 10 days on skins, making for more balanced phenolics.
