BOOKER VERTIGO 2020

WINEMAKER NOTES 

The winemaker notes for Vertigo describe it as a classic Rhône-style blend, known as a “G-S-M,” combining Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre. A portion of the wine undergoes whole-cluster fermentation, with stem inclusion to enhance its complexity by adding structure through tannins and a touch of spice. The name "Vertigo" playfully refers to one of Booker’s steepest vineyard slopes, where these Rhône varietals are grown.

This blend aims to honor Rhône winemaking traditions while showcasing the unique terroir of Booker's vineyards, producing a wine that offers both depth and character. The careful use of stem inclusion in the fermentation process gives Vertigo a distinctive edge, bringing balance and a slightly spicy finish to complement its rich fruit flavors.
