Lo-Fi Sauvignon Blanc/Chardonnay Santa Barbara County 2023

Fun and slamming Wine. Like sticking a straw in a melon. Subtle peach fruit. Sour candies with most of the salt licked off. It’s crisp like a ceviche juice and perfect for when you are in the middle of an addictive Netflix binge. Drink this during episodes 4-5! And eat it with your favorite spicy snack!

Lo-Fi's commitment to sustainability and organic practices is reflected in their winemaking process. Their grapes are carefully hand harvested and grown using only organic methods. After being 100% de-stemmed, the Chardonnay was fermented on the skins in open top fermenters with daily punch downs. The Sauvignon Blanc on the other hand was pressed right away and the juice was fermented in stainless steel tank. They rely on native yeasts and bacteria for both primary and secondary fermentation, and avoid the use of sulfur during harvest. Once the wine has fermented to completion (16 days), it is pressed to tank, settled, and then racked to vessels the next day. The wines were aged separately in concrete egg, stainless steel & neutral French oak barrels for six months and blended together just prior to bottling. To stay true to their minimalist (lo-fi) philosophy, they add a total of 25 ppm so2, and the wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered.

Lo-Fi is a partnership between two lifelong friends who believe in hand crafted honest wines that are made for everyday drinking. Wines to be enjoyed, not to be collected. Easy drinking lower alcohol wines made to pair well with all types of foods, from pizza to paté. They believe in neutral barrels, native yeasts, little to no sulfur additions, and no adjustment of pH. They embrace the "nothing added, nothing taken away" philosophy that gives birth to wines that are young, vibrant and alive. But in all reality, Lo-Fi is less about what it is and more about what it is not. It is not over-manipulated. It is not over-extracted. It is not over-ripe and it is not over-priced.
