Salt + Stone - (United States)
The idea behind this latest blend from the Wine Hooligans originates from the benefits of blending. This can involve using a different grape variety or the same grape variety that underwent a different 'upbringing', where shortcomings or deficiencies of a grape or its specific vintage are complemented by another grape or the same grape that has been aged differently, for example. This makes the result more complete and interesting without tampering with the soul of the wine. However, here the same grape from two different locations is always combined. Vineyards near the coast benefit from the wind and temperature variations (Salt), while inland vineyards are usually warmer and experience less cooling (Stone). This gives the winemaker the opportunity to combine the structured, refined, and slightly salty character of the coast with the warm, lush, and deeper character of the inland. It results in a more complete and complex wine that showcases the best of both worlds.
