From the winemaker: "An exotic foray into orange wine, this refreshingly clean example has a mouthfeel that lends itself to Chardonnay drinkers looking for something a little different.  Dried apricot and red pear on the nose, bruised apple and rose hip shine on an entry that achieves stunning depth with a weight that comes from sur lie aging.  A silky finish is accentuated by a light tannin element with touches of fennel and spearmint."

Native yeast fermentation. 8 months neutral oak. Higher acid due to age as compared to the 2020 vintage, currently available. 

Please Note $2 of each bottle is also donated to Lift Collective. Each series has a curated Spotify playlist to accompany the wine. Enjoy! https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3ga0r2yb2AnCc0pUI8LSq7

About The Winemaker

Tarpon Cellars was founded with the focus of bringing people together through wine, music, art, and philanthropy. We feel the best way to do this is through not only crafting inspired wines that speak to a sense of place and vintage, but by being a heart-centered business that values connection, sustainability, and community over anything else. They make wines to share with our friends and our family, and the sense of gratitude we have for that is what encompasses everything that we do.

A Georgia native, Jeremy attended Florida State University before moving to the Napa Valley in 2007 for an internship at his uncle’s winery in Rutherford. He would soon hone his winemaking acumen through positions at Luna, Chappellet, and Duckhorn while also crafting 90-point wines under his previous label, J.R. Carter Wine Cellars. Having made wine in Napa, Sonoma, and New Zealand, the opportunity to work with fruit from Shifflett Ranch and create a brand of distinction was an opportunity he had always dreamed of. Jeremy lives in St. Helena and in his spare time, he enjoys live music, college football, and teaching yoga.

Shipping Details

US Natural Wine ships once a week, every Wednesday. All orders should be placed by Tuesday at 10am in order to be picked up from our distributors and out on Wednesday's delivery truck.

Shipping cost is 18 bucks a box (up to 12 bottles) so we highly encourage picking up more than 1 bottle for the best value!

At $18, we have some of the most competitive shipping rates compared to other low-intervention wine e-commerce, which can range from $20-$25 a box. Ultimately, we eat the cost of shipping more often than not because wine can be damn heavy. As a small business, we are simply unable to offer free shipping. We can't thank you enough for your understanding!
