Our Bouquet wine is unique in that it is made solely from saignéed juice. Saingée is a process which concentrates flavor and tannin in red wines, whereby juice is removed from a vessel prior to fermentation, leaving behind skins, stems, and seeds. We saignée most of our red wines, yielding a consistent supply of slightly-pink juice. We then tank ferment each batch separately, often by varietal, blending once dryness is achieved.
