Description

An exciting collaboration between winemaker Sean McKenzie and musician Dave Matthews, The Dreaming Tree captures the spirit of Californias wine country. United by their shared passion to make quality wines accessible to everyone, the two friends set out on a journey to discover the unique characters and rich flavors that give the region its rare charm.Our rose is good for everybody earlier in the day, just fine for anybody in the middle of the day, and most of everybody can enjoy it in evening. – Dave Matthews2018 Vintage After a warm, dry winter, we had some great spring rains that helped slow down the start of the 2018 growing season for our vines. We had an unusually mild summer with no high heat periods through the late summer and fall harvest. This exceptionally mild weather brought a larger than average crop. When combined with no picking pressure, it made for one of the longest harvests in recent years. The result was great quality grapes with amazing acid and fruit balance in all varieties.Winemaking Harvested at night, a portion of the grapes went direct to press, with another portion getting some skin contact to develop more pink color. The resulting juice went through a cool, slow fermentation process in 100% stainless steel tanks with some very aromatically expressive yeast strains. After, bottling came quickly to maintain the youthful characteristics of the fruit.Sustainability The environment is important to us, and were pretty sure you feel the same. From the day we pick the grapes to the night you pop the cork, were making changes that add up along the way.Vine to Table Wed rather plant trees than cut em down, which is why our labels are made with 100% recycled kraft brown paper. We figure the most significant part of your purchase should be the wine, not the bottle, so our bottles are a quarter pound lighter than normal, and take a lot less fuel to get to your table. Go ahead, pop a cork and enjoy the fruits of our laborjust dont forget to recycle the bottle. – The Dreaming Tree
