<\/h2>\nDISCONTENT IS THE FIRST NECESSITY OF PROGRESS
\n\u2013 Thomas Edison<\/strong><\/h2>\n <\/p>\n
Before the grapes for our second-ever vintage had even formed on the vine, we had learned a lot about what we did not want to do, from last year\u2019s experience. This year, – we said -, we will be more prepared. Learning is a slow progression.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n- We found last year\u2019s light-red a bit too light for its weight in alcohol. This year we wanted balance (in the wine, at least, even if not in our day-to-day life.)<\/li>\n
- We found last year\u2019s wine a bit too ripe for its intended purpose. This year we wanted a real \u201cglou-glou\u201d: we are Suc Suc, damnit!<\/li>\n
- We found last year\u2019s process too rushed to let the wine come into itself fully. This year we wanted to stop and smell the roses. Or the ferments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

<\/h2>\nPROGRESS IS IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT CHANGE
\n\u2013 George Bernard Shaw<\/strong><\/h2>\n <\/p>\n
We (and our Arnes winemaking family) implemented some major changes over the course of this year that resulted in this newly-improved Work in Progress 2023.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n- Pol<\/a>, our grape daddy and cellar master, did an exemplary job with the recuperation pruning. The grapes were finally well-placed and well-spread, and had their best chance at achieving the elusive balance of phenolic and technological maturity. Bravo!<\/li>\n
- We went to Arnes early to scope out the scene \u2013 and picked when we decided was opportune. We dropped the probable alcohol a bit while still respecting the fact that this is not <\/em>a mediterranean climate \u2013 this is continental \u2013 and the harvest happens later than you might expect.<\/li>\n
- We upped the length of maceration on one half of the grapes to make sure the wine had more structure than last year\u2019s. We opted for a \u201csemi-carbonic\u201d, meaning, we crushed some (because it\u2019s fun to stomp grapes!) and threw a bunch of whole bunches on top. We covered the tub with plastic wrap to saturate it with CO2, and a week later opened it to press off the skins. (And- we got to stomp them again!)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
