2024 Breaking Bread "Marmalade", Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
Zesty, textural, and joyfully expressive, the 2024 “Marmalade” is a skin-contact white that blurs the line between structure and freshness. A blend of Muscat, Vermentino, and Chardonnay, it opens with bright aromatics of tangerine peel, jasmine, and apricot, followed by a savory edge of dried herbs and tea leaf. Light tannins from skin contact lend grip, while citrusy acidity carries through to a lifted, pithy finish.

ABOUT THIS WINE
With this wine, we have honed in on a blend of grapes that achieves layers of complexity and mouthwatering deliciousness in this skin-contact “orange” wine. Equal parts of Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc are added to the dominant Muscat Blanc. The Chardonnay contributes weight and complexity to the mouthfeel, while the Sauvignon Blanc brings in more acidity and higher notes. All grapes were destemmed into the fermenter bin with zero sulfur added and we let the native yeast build up a population, which took about five days. From there we allowed it to go another five days fermenting on skins, for a total of ten days on the skins, making for more balanced phenolics.
