Lo-Fi is a partnership between two lifelong friends who believe in hand crafted honest wines that are made for every day drinking. Wines to be enjoyed not to be collected. Easy drinking lower alcohol wines made to pair well with all types of foods, from pizza to paté.
We believe in neutral barrels, native yeasts, little to no sulfur additions, and no adjustment of pH. We love whole cluster fermentation. We adore carbonic maceration . We embrace a nothing added, nothing taken away philosophy that gives birth to wines that are young, vibrant and alive.
But in all reality Lo-Fi is less about what it is and more about what it is not.
It is not over manipulated. It is not over extracted. It is not over ripe and it is not over priced.
Less is more.
Drink up!
Mike & Craig.
Our commitment to sustainability and organic practices is reflected in our winemaking process. These grapes were carefully hand harvested and grown using only organic methods . We then fermented the grapes using the carbonic maceration technique, with 100% whole clusters being utilized in large sealed oak tanks. To ensure a thorough fermentation, we perform daily pump overs and remove any excess juice. After nearly two weeks, the grapes are pressed and the juice blended back with the previously removed juice and allowed to complete fermentation. It was then racked to barrels and concrete tank the following day. We rely on native yeasts and bacteria for both primary and secondary fermentation, and avoid the use of sulfur during harvest. To stay true to our minimalist (lo-fi) philosophy, we add a total of 25 ppm so2, and the wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered.
Drink chilled!
