well fuxk this tastes like apple cider vinegar and cat pee

okay i lied by day three i was guzzling this down and asking for more. i think it had some shiz that needed to off gas (very vinegary, should look up what that’s called) but then it turned into like a velvety almost overripe apricot taste? some secondary fermentation going on. zesty, warm, cidery, tropical also like the tannins

Tart, astringent apricot to start. Just a hint of the Chardonnay grapes beneath. Some funk. Astringency levels off and it becomes richer and mellower. Apricot still starring.

I bought a handful of wines made in partnership with some new school Cali guys called Les Lunes.
This is destemmed Chardonnay with ten epidermal days. Where the Marigny Chard highlighted its incredible fruit, Populis relies on the orangeness to mask the fruit. It’s straightforward and tame and easy.
All tangerine and Sour apricots
