Winery Review: The philosophy behind Lo-Fi (just like music production) isn't to create wine that is too polished or perfect, but rather that which embraces a more natural, raw expression. For winemakers Michael Roth and Craig Winchester, less is more: neutral barrels, native yeasts, little to no sulfur additions, and no acid adjustments. The Chardonnay is aged in 6-year old barrels, then racked and matured in concrete eggs for 6 months. The wine has a leesy texture and crisp snappiness, accompanied by flavors of ripe peach, banana, and white flowers.
My Review: This wine is a little heavier than other white wines. It seems to have a medium body and isn't as bright. This wine smells darker than other white wines, but it still was fruity. The smell reminded me of apples maybe a hint of peaches. I agree that I think the taste is more natural and raw. It tastes like apples with oak in the background. It is a smooth wine to drink that is slightly acidic.
I tasted this wine without food.
