Whats Josh like? Josh isn’t your classic Chianti style Sangiovese, Josh is on the lighter side, with soft tannins. Violets and some other floral notes on the nose, plush, velvety mouthfeel with plenty of red fruit thrown in and hints of nutmeg just top it off! A bottle you’ll want to get to the bottom of!
So how was Josh made? The grapes were destemmed by hand before being split up into 2 batches. 1 batch was fermented naturally (by wild yeasts) and the other was inoculated with a yeast strain. Post fermentation these two batches were blended, increasing the complexity of the final product with the different fermentation practices. Then Josh was transferred to oak barrels. It aged in barrel for 4 weeks, undergoing full malolactic fermentation, before being transferred back to stainless steel to maintain freshness, aging there for 8 months before bottling.
