Breaking Bread "Field Blend" Red Blend, North Coast, California 2021

FROM BREAKING BREAD:

THE WINE: 85% Zinfandel, 13.5% Grenache, 1.5% Muscat Blanc. This Field Blend was made as a tribute to the heritage of our home in Dry Creek Valley. One hundred years ago in Sonoma County, wines were made with little to no intervention or technology. Our natural winemaking approach is one that emulates the style of wines made by these early vintners. Also, in line with the tradition of incorporating white varietals, we chose to co-ferment with Muscat Blanc for a distinct and unmistakable flavor and aromatics.

THE PRODUCER: Breaking Bread Winery began as a creative outlet for Erik Miller, the esteemed and experienced winemaker of Kokomo Winery. What started as an exploration of different winemaking techniques and new takes on old varietals has evolved into something even more straightforward – Breaking Bread is a lifestyle wine. We source from the best growers who farm sustainably and organically. We touch the wine as little as possible, but ensure it arrives in your glass clean and stable. We believe in using native yeast and little new oak. We believe in minimizing our environmental footprint by using lightweight glass and foregoing tin capsules. We believe in honoring ancient winemaking techniques, from skin-contact white wines to carbonic maceration to method ancestral sparkling wine.
