La Boutanche

California’s identity as a table wine, for us, begins with Zinfandel. Juicy and glou glou in style. It’s a fresh, vibrant grape when picked early and plays well with food pairings.

Selection Massale's 'La Boutanche' series is an ongoing series of collaborations with leading winemakers working in the 'natural' mode -- fermentation with native yeasts, little to no sulphur -- to distribute tasty and affordable wines for immediate consumption. The Zinfandel grapes were destemmed and naturally fermented in open top stainless fermenters. After the wine was gently pressed, it was aged in neutral French oak barrels for 8 months. We made this acid driven, food friendly wine that everyone should enjoy at the table.
