This year presented Cordant with an opportunity to craft a new wine to showcase the uniqueness of the vintage. Cordant is known for producing both vineyard-designated and blended wines, such as their southern-Rhone inspired “Maniacal” GSM. So it seems only fitting that they craft a northern-Rhone inspired blend to leverage their cooler-climate Syrah vineyards, plus a splash of Grenache. The result is the first release of “Indocile”. Sourcing Syrah from some of their favorite vineyards, this wine is brimming with a mixture of cool and warm climate characteristics: dark fruits, herbs de Provence, lavender, and cigar to name a few. At the same time, it is also incredibly silky and sensual on the palate.
The grapes were hand-harvested at optimal ripeness. They were then hand-sorted and destemmed. They cold-soaked the grapes for 5 days to extract color, and then fermentation kicked off spontaneously. Daily pump-overs and punch-downs were performed for cap management. When the fermentation was dry, the grapes were pressed and put into 50% new French oak barrels plus 50% neutral barrels (a mix of 228L barriques and 500L puncheons) to age. The wine was racked 5 months after harvest and then returned to barrel for another 15 months. They bottled this wine in August of 2023, unfined and unfiltered.
