2020 Negotians Vinarius Pošip Coltrane

Notes & Pairings

This is more or less the same as the estate Pošip, with the exception that half is barrel fermented, barrel aged, and then combined with the stainless steel version before bottling. Hand harvested looking up at the village of Smokvica, the grapes were macerated for a few days on the skins and then basket pressed into tank/barrel. As for Coltrane, whether it’s in reference to a young frisky horse or the famed jazz musician, we don’t know. We forgot to ask. Both explanations seem to work nevertheless. The barrel aged portion adds in some built in oxidative notes along with the levity and density of the lees contact. Full of energy like a colt, and showing the experimentation and balance inherent in free jazz.
