High-toned cherry cola and rose petal notes lead to notes of white pepper, a medium body, and a tart finish. Look no further for your perfect pizza and barbecue wine. Matt and Audra Naumann were longtime industry vets, having worked with Hourglass and Failla respectively, prior to launching Newfound and making these delightful daily sippers from Sonoma. The organically-farmed Placida Vineyard is locating at the cooler Southern edge of the Russian River Valley, allowing for a beautiful lift in the wine. After being whole cluster fermented, the wine ages for one year in concrete vessel. The lack of oak allows for a pure expression of the grape. 

This new winery is owned by Matt and Audra Naumann, both longtime wine industry veterans. Audra previously worked with Hourglass while Matt worked as the assistant winemaker at Failla with Ehren Jordan. In 2016, Matt and Audra purchased their remote 40-acre piece of land in El Dorado County and tore out the existing vineyard to start anew and revive the dramatic parcel from its conventionally farmed past.
