Populis "Reversée" Mendocino County, California 2025

FROM ZEV ROVINE SELECTIONS:

THE WINE: Carignane / Counoise / Syrah / Colombard. The 2025 'Reversee' is made with Populis's "patented" Reversée technique - co-fermenting rose juice with red grapes. They blended in some rosé of Syrah and a touch of Colombard for lift.

THE PRODUCER: Shaunt Oungoulian and Diego Roig produce two wines, Populis and Les Lunes Wine. With Populis, they purchase grapes from historic vineyards and multi-generational growers from Mendocino County. These wines are fresh, lively, fruit forward, and made in a playful style. In addition to making wine, they farm and manage over 8 ha of vineyards in Sonoma and Napa and are committed 100% to organic farming and restoring and preserving older and historic vineyards in those counties. They are absolutely 100% committed to farming and producing wines organically. They make no additions to the wines save for a small dose of sulfur before bottling if needed, as determined on a barrel by barrel basis.
