Ann Kraemer, who both planted and currently runs Shake Ridge, is well known as one of the most thoughtful and intentional growers in California. It was an honor to work with some of her Grenache this year.\u003cbr\u003eWe picked the Grenache at about 22 brix, and it arrived at the winery in pristine bunches with tiny, beautiful grapes. The fruit was foot crushed, and left to ferment on skins for 8 days. It was then pressed, and the wine continued to dryness in stainless steel. Once dry, it was transferred to a neutral puncheon (my first puncheon!) and neutral barriques for élevage over winter.\u003cbr\u003e‘qu’est-ce que signifie: éphémère’ translates to ‘what does it mean: ephemeral?’. It is a special line from Le Petit Prince, by Antoine Saint-Exupery.\u003cbr\u003eIndigenous yeast fermentation. No added sulfur, no other additions, unfined and unfiltered.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes: *\u003cem\u003ebrambly and floral on the nose, strawberry coulee in the glass.

Countless hands are involved in every glass you drink – the growers who planted cuttings three generations ago; the field workers who prune the vines in winter, tend them throughout the year and pick the grapes come autumn; the winemakers and interns who footstomp those grapes, forklift bins of fermenting fruit from tank to press, and fill barrels with wine to rest before bottling; and the distributors, restaurateurs, and sommeliers who help bring that bottle to you.  An incredible amount of labor and love goes into filling a glass with wine, and I am constantly reminded of and grateful for the community who makes all of it possible.  I could not do this alone, nor would I want to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimilarly, at the end of the day, wine should be enjoyed with your own community of friends and family.  I aim to make fresh, bright wines that taste good, encourage thoughtful discussion, and ultimately bring people together. \u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Satellite SB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42866409079035,"sku":"00073228","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0403\/3655\/6193\/products\/f4acba2e4bbb520cf70adc417e889b72.jpg?v=1649208913","url":"https:\/\/satellitesb.com\/products\/emme-wines-quest-ce-que-signifie-ephemere-grenache-shake-ridge-ranch-amador-county-ca-2021","provider":"Satellite SB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
