La Garagista (Deirdre Heekin x Camila Carrillo) ‘B. Loup No.2’ Rancio Sec Red (375ml)
Location: United States, Vermont
Winemaker: Deirdre Heekin & Camila Carrillo
Winemaking: the wine is made in the solar method, then oxidized in glass demijohn
From the producers: ‘B. Loup No.2’ Rancio Sec is a dry ancestral winemaking style hailing from the steep hills of southwestern Europe. This oxidative solera of red wine ages in glass demijohns exposed to all the summer elements in our rose garden just like in the light-kissed rancio sec tradition, then returns to the cool cellar for our snow winters. The resulting wine—nutty, floral, spicy—tastes of the sun. Excellent as an aperitif served with almonds, olives, spicy and salty cured meats and the like.
We are located on Mount Hunger at the edge of the forest in the Châteauguay and in the Piedmont chain of hills in Barnard, Vermont. Here we grow alpine wine and ciders. Our land has been part of small homestead farming for over two hundred years. On the farm, we attend to the care and observation of our native terroir, a whole-farm and diverse agriculture where we are not only growing wine, but also vegetables, fruits, flowers, and herbs for ourselves and our tiny kitchen and for our spontaneous, always last minute pop-up tasting room/wine bar. We farm four parcels of vineyard: the homefarm vineyard les bonnes femmes, a joint project just across the road, les forestières, and two older parcels in the Champlain Valley, les carouges and i selvatici. The work we do at the farm and winery, both in the field and in the cellar, is guided by regenerative, permaculture, and biodynamic thought. We try to let all elements of the farm speak for themselves accompanied by our stewardship.
Our mission is to care for our land in creative and natural ways, make way for the honest narrative told by the wines and ciders that express our unique landscape and each vintage year, and share in and support the spirited food and agriculture of our community.
