"...Appropriately named Sojorn, produced under the strange conditions of the 2022 harvest in Southern Catalunya. As many of you surely know, Catalunya is in the midst of an historic drought, which aside from screwing everyone's yields, has also made life hard for yeasts. Practically everyone in the region suffered from stalled fermentations last Fall. For his part, Josep opted to bottle part of his red grenache with a few grams of sugar in pursuit of a "pet-NOT." A genre verging on banal these days, a good pet-not (also known as a "tranquil" in the local parlance) is no simple matter. I love the way that Sojorn recalls the heady aromatics of must in fermentation. Nearly all of the sugar is gone, set in relief by a gentle volatile acidity and a barely perceptible bubble. It's a singular bottle of wine that is unlikely to be produced again. Long live the pet-not!" - the importer
