Mendocino County, USA | While winemakers Shaunt Oungoulian & Diego Roig, make wines for Les Lunes by farming older & historic leased vineyards in Napa & Sonoma, their Populis project is made using purchased grapes from historic vineyards & multi-generational growers in Mendocino County, located just north of Sonoma. Their production facility is located in the basement of Shaunt’s parents’ house, allowing them space free from other wineries’ yeasts / influence as well as space to age multiple vintages if they deem it necessary before release. This single-varietal old-vines Sauvignon Blanc is without a doubt the most chilled out Sauvy B you’ve ever tasted, vinified from grapes planted in the late 1940s! So old & wise, thankfully well past their early-20s need to be all loud & elderflower-passionfruit-green pepper in your face. The green pepper has softened into a fluttering grassiness, and fruit flavours are lightly tropical: guava, key lime & lemon balm. Satin-y mouthfeel, Central Loire-esque, the smell of Dove soap on a loved one’s skin. Make a wish on a dandelion & pair with acoustic guitar strum on a late spring afternoon.
Zinfandel, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Muscat, Mendocino County, USA | DRINK UP summarizes this dry and flawlessly fruit forward rosé. From New-Cali winemakers Shaunt and Diego, ‘Populis’ is their purchased fruit line from trusted organic growers in Mendocino, equally delicious & gluggable down to the last drop. The full malolactic fermentation balances this freshness with an unctuous mouthfeel and big-waterslide-length. A foundation of (70%) stone-fruited zinfandel, (15%) acid-slinging pinot gris, (10%) self-indulgent chardonnay & (5%) wistfully aromatic muscat. Pink guava, fruit punch jello, peach rings, rhubarb curd, rose trellis, stony minerality & grapefruit pith + skin tannins. Enjoy while slip-n’-slidin’ your afternoon away!
