Well we loved the last vintage and we love this vintage. Luke is still on the top of my winemakers to watch list, and this wine can drive that point home. Lush and zippy with fresh apricot, honeydew and asian pear, there is a saline line that runs though it (you know how I feel about saline, my favorite), and a long honeycomb – macadamia- tangerine finish. 

Fruit was stomped and whole-cluster pressed. The juice was cold settled and racked off heavy lees to 2/3 neutral oak, 1/3 stainless steel. Indigenous ferment, ambient temperature. Racked to all
neutral French oak post-fermentation. Elevage was 9 months before being bottled unfined in May 2022. Only addition was SO2 at crush, post-fermentation, and pre-bottling.(So vegan.) 

50 cases produced. 

2021 Filomena Vermentino, Unti Vineyard

$28.00

Unti is a relatively well known small Sonoma brand, and in wine world is a highly respected farming operation and winemaking production. They are known for taking great care of their property, farming organically, and championing Italian and Spanish varieties. If you have never visited their property before, I would encourage you to check out their unassuming tasting room and pick up some of their killer wines.

When Luke told me that they advertised their two tons of Vermentino in Wine Business I could not believe it. People clamor to get into this vineyard. The luck of cruising around with George Unti and being led to 4 little rows by their house is so special I can hardly stand it.

We're on a break!

Don’t worry. We are coming back better than ever in 2024!

While Ownroot Collective  will continue to focus on winemaker side-projects, we will now offer 4 shipments per year, shipped automatically.

You can still shop for wine any time, and we will still offer lots of content, connection, and virtual tastings with winemakers. 

We hope you will join us for our newest adventure!
