WINE
Luck? Intention? Evolution Lucky No. 9 White launched the alternative white category two decades ago and remains a classic staple in any wine lover’s fridge. With each bottle opened, anticipation heightens until the first drop hits the mouth. It’s oh-so-good and refreshing, capturing today’s savvy, food-hungry wine drinker.
WINEMAKING
This was the dreamiest vintage! A mild summer and early fall meant the fruit got to just hang out on the vine and really develop a solid personality before being harvested. Press – juice – tank – bam – wine! Wouldn’t it be nice if winemaking was that easy? We press our fruit straight to juice and ferment in stainless steel tanks to maintain the bright fruit flavors. We finish fermentation with 7.2g/L of residual sugar, just enough to give it a dash of sweetness.
