Winemaker Description
THE STORY: We’re thrilled to share the latest release of Boutanche! This release is a new, fresh and lively blend. After several years of farming and making wine from our Fox Hill Vineyard, we’ve gained a deeper understanding of the site and its fruit, especially Sangiovese, which truly shines here. This new bottling is built around that very Sangiovese, which makes up 50% of the blend. All grapes were naturally fermented using whole clusters, with a portion undergoing carbonic maceration, then gently pressed and aged for 9 months in a mix of concrete and neutral barrique.
The result? A wine that’s fresh, vibrant, juicy, and surprisingly refined – perfect for any gathering. Like all wines under the Boutanche label, it’s all about enjoyment, and you’ll be glad it comes in a liter because it disappears quickly. Whether you chill it down or enjoy it at cellar temperature, this is a bright, delicious expression of California that’s made to be shared, any time of day.
FUN FACT: Badger means Broc in Scottish Gaelic. The badger is our winery mascot.
