Lust for Light
2021




Our newest drop from VICHINGO was dreamed up in 2019, sadly pushed out by California’s Glass fires in 2020 and, finally, brought to life in 2021. ‘Lust for Light’ is a delicious thirst quencher, a Valdiguie based co-ferment made by one of California’s first champions of this once unknown grape. It's combined with a little Gewürztraminer and Gamay which adds a bright, airy quality while still keeping its red-fruited star the focus.

VICHINGO VIOLET SWELL is a chillable, carignan-based co-ferment from one of the OG’s of New California, Kenny Likitprakong of Hobo Wine Company. Punchy carignan is farmed organically by the Testa family in Mendocino’s Redwood Valley, and a heavy splash of bone-dry viognier lends an exotic, aromatic dimension. Kenny’s talented hand crafted a highly natural yet clean wine we can’t stop sipping.

VICHINGO VERMENTINO MACERATO is a small-production skin fermented wine that reflects the spirit of Maremma and the character of vermentino. Classically salty and sagey with quince-like orchard fruit, you feel the Tuscan sunshine on the palate as the wine is slightly more broad than direct-to-press vermentino.
