$34.55

In early-October, the Pinot Meunier was hand harvested, lightly foot trod and pressed with stems into neutral oak barrel. It completed primary fermentation in 4 weeks. At this time, freshly-pressed, direct press Pinot Meunier was added as liqueur de tirage during bottling. The wine was then bottle aged for 5.5 months on the lees before it was disgorged by hand in mid-April.

At Neu Cellars, everything is spontaneously fermented, meaning only native yeast and native bacteria that exist on the grapes and in the cellar environment produce the wine. There are no additions or subtractions. If there were an ingredient label, it would read: grapes.

Description

A father-son project. Neu is German, meaning new, fresh, or young. The goal of Neu Cellars is to produce a focused and sound product that utilizes Midwestern fruit. During this project, they have fallen in love with Michigan grapes after not having any sort of expectations. The benefit of experimenting in an untapped region is the guarantee of surprise. The unnamed vineyard is situated towards the top-center of Old Mission Peninsula with approximately 3 acres of vines. The narrow nature of the peninsula, which is 3 miles at its widest point, allows for the bodies of water on all three sides to control the climate. Due to the characteristics of the landscape, the chance of frost is reduced. Harsh winter temperatures are offset by the large amount of snow, which protect the vines. The vines are organically grown, although not certified. Everything is hand-picked and sorted on-site. Cool nights during growing season, no humidity, and a healthy breeze from Lake Michigan allow for organic growing practices in Northern Michigan.
