Community & editorial
A Canary Islands-inspired field blend — Pink Negramoll, Listán Negro, Malvasía Fina, Mission, Palomino and Babosa Negro — grafted in 2020 over the former Lúnasa Syrah on a windswept sandy plateau. “Sean Nós” means “in the old way”; the cuttings come from a 100+-year-old interplanted vineyard in Tenerife. Made as a white, pink or red depending on the year; by co-fermenting many grape colors Hiyu reaches a translucent strawberry pink “a step further than orange wine.”
Vintages
Nate: “a little lusher and riper than the 2022, a little darker and more filled with strawberries.”
Fermented in a 20hl wood vat 12 days, then to old puncheons. Nate: “equal parts red, white and pink grapes… fermented to dryness on the skins while keeping a very pale color and aromatic delicacy. We experience the wine as …
11 days on skins, pressed to barrel, bottled spring 2022. Nate: “bubblegum pink and hauntingly floral; mouth-filling strawberries and holy basil, then volcanic on the endless finish — all basalt, sand and wind.”
