Martha's Notes
Solo Act 2022 returns the spotlight to a favorite co-ferment of Marsanne, Roussanne, and Muscat blanc from Cecchini & Cecchini Vineyard in Contra Costa County. When crafting our Post Flirtation White blend, these three varieties are co-fermented before blending with Colombard or Vermentino for balanced acidity. In 2020, intuition suggested that we put aside a few barrels worth of wine from the co-ferment prior to blending and provide the wine its own stage — a solo act! The 2022 wine continues this performance with an exotic citrus oil aroma and a generous and salty palate ready for pairing with food.

Marsanne, Roussanne, and Muscat blanc harvested together and briefly tumbled in the press for just a hint of skin contact before pressing, then fermented on full lees in stainless steel.
